Re: Display the data passed from php

Usually CGI scripts are placed in cgi-bin directory (with 755 access rights).

So your form must look like

<form method="get" action="/cgi-bin/mail_contact.pl" onsubmit="return 
+validate()">
[download]

Also don't forget to add

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
[download]

in the first line of your script (to tell server where the perl is)

File is in /var/www/html/abc/mail_contact.pl and all php files are also in this directory. The form action to mail_contact.pl displays the contents of the file not just the output	[reply]
