One note about style:
You might find it cleaner, and I believe it is quicker, if you group your print statements or use a "heredoc".

print "abc\n";
print "def\n";
print "ghi\n";

becomes

print "abc\n", "def\n", "ghi\n";

or

print << EOD;
abc
def
ghi
EOD

You can do this as well with your  print MAIL section.

You have some pretty long parameter lists, you might want to consider named parameters.

Get rid of temporary variables:

use CGI qw(:cgi);

my $url = $_[0];
my $q = CGI->new();

  print $q->redirect(
                   -url    => $url
                  );

# becomes

my $q = CGI->new();

  print $q->redirect(
                   -url    => $_[0]                  );

You use a lot of post-conditionals, and I tend to as well, but you may want to re-evaluate whether some of them make the code more difficult to read than others. A test is whether the condition or the result is "more important" and use that to determine which goes first.

&get_data (\$current_date, \$remote_host, 
           \$remote_addr, \$server_name);
#...
sub get_data {

my ($current_date, $remote_host, 
    $remote_addr, $server_name) = @_;
#....
    # get the information about who submitted the form
    $$remote_host = $ENV{'REMOTE_HOST'};
    $$remote_addr = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};
    $$server_name = $ENV{'SERVER_NAME'};
}

Why bother passing in the references? Just return the scalar values:

($current_date, $remote_host, 
  $remote_addr, $server_name) = get_data();

sub get_data {
#...
# get the current date
    ($day, $month, $year) = (localtime)[3,4,5];
    $year += 1900;
    return ( "$months[$month] $day, $year",
             $ENV{'REMOTE_HOST'}, $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'},
             $ENV{'SERVER_NAME'};
}

And just to restate, use CGI;

Hope this is useful.
