    For this purpose, I would highly recommend NetCloak rather than
    MacPerl. The most recent version of NetCloak incorporates NetForms
    making a very easy way to collect the results of a form and mail them
    to someone. UC Berkeley has a campus site license for NetCloak up
    through verison 2.5.4 but it looks like you would have to buy the
    more recent version 3.x (there may be an educational price or
    upgrade).

    NetCloak runs as a WebStar plugin and is multithreaded, whereas
    MacPerl cgi is not.

    You don't need to run a mail server on the Mac, you simply tell
    NetCloak what SMTP server to use to send the form results email.
