I installed a form mail product called Formail several months ago. I am using
Dreamweaver 8 at work. I am creating a new form and cannot find my cgi-bin file
to modify the program. Does anybody have any experience with this program in
Dreamweaver? I have earched for hours. The old form I created still works great
but I cannot trace it back to the cgi-bin file. I think I have been working to
long!!!!!

look inside your cgi-bin for a file named formmail.pl

Where I work, only the IT staff has write access to the cgi-bin directory on
the server

We lowly users may enter the command in our HTML to use the Perl file in the
cgi-bin directory, but we may not modify the actual Perl command file (many
developers use the same .pl file, so no individual developer may modify)

Unless you know what you are doing with the Perl language (it would seem that
is not the case, if you don't know about a cgi-bin directory on your server)
you might want to NOT make any changes to the .pl that resides on the server

Do not use form mail I used to use it and it nearly brought the sever down
there is a big hole in it that allows spammers to utilize it and send spam
using your sever. it is better to use php to send your form with sendmail
