And with good reason.  No less than Tom Christiansen says to avoid all of 
Matt's programs.  Thery are many very good reasons why real programmers 
come down hard on Matt, but the top THREE are:

1)  His code is very poor (full of bugs).
2)  He makes no attempt to write SECURE code (running his code on your 
server creates a security risk).
3)  He refuses to provide any support to people using it.

My advice is to go to deja-news and look up "alternatives to FormMail.pl" 
in the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup.  This at least will provide some 
better starting point.
