If you want to see my first CGI script, you can go to 

    ftp://ic.redhat.com/pub/minivend3/unsupported/

and look at "guestnik.tar.gz".

This was originally written before I learned Perl 5, circa 1994. I was a
rank amateur at that point, but I still think it is better than
formail.pl. Certainly more secure -- it makes you set the email address
in a config file and uses taint checking.

I think I updated it late in 1995 to support Perl 5 and use POD
documentation. It still runs on Perl 4.
