Have problems with a Perl mailer script

While I'm nowhere near considering myself a WebMASTER, I have been playing with my site and trying to set up a visitor feedback form for prospective clients. (I am a print art director, by trade.) Got everything working fine, except for the Perl script I'm using for mailing my form data back to me. I found a mailer script on the web and downloaded it and customized the appropriate variables for my site.

The problem I'm having is that when I fill out my form with any data, it fails to send me an email. If I submit the form without any data values, it mails it just fine. This is driving me crazy and I can't figure out what's going on. Now I certainly don't expect anyone to pore over my Perl script free of charge, but if anyone has an idea what might be a likely culprit, I'd be eternally grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

Much thanks!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, mrfredmor.

Sounds like you may have some logic in place that is causing the failure when certain form values have been entered/edited. Can you nail it down to a certain form value? Start working it backward from there?

What does it do when you add data? Do you get an error? Have you checked your server error logs?
