Not that's it got me anywhere as belatedly realised that all the rubbish sent reflects what is in all the hidden fields is in their form and just changing the mail program won't help at all. Bah!
Possibly.

Hosters list the technical details below, but not quite sure what they mean. I assume the root directory is /home/mysite/public_html so bunging in cgi-bin is correct. How would I put anything in usr/bin/perl anyway even assuming I should?
Cheers for any clarifications
technical data:
Path to cgi-bin: /home/mysite/public_html/cgi-bin
Path to Perl: /usr/bin/perl
PS Why have I got a little green arrowy thing???
There are a couple of obvious possibilities:
- Ensure that the first line of the script reads #!/usr/bin/perl - this ensures that the system knows where to look for the Perl interpreter.
- Ensure that the file is executable - Unix systems require the file to have an "executable" bit set. Your FTP client should be able to help you with this; try right-clicking on the remote file and looking at the "Properties" (although it depends what you're using to upload the file, so it's hard to be more specific).
If none of that helps, giving more details of the error would be helpful
