Download

Requirements

• Active Perl 5

• Access to your servers Send Mail program

Setup (This file is included in the distribution)

To use this script you will need to edit the following parameters.

• First off like all CGI Scripts. You will need to set the path to Perl on the very top line of the file.  Change #!/usr/bin/Perl to where your host installed the Perl to. It is normally either this, #!/usr/local/bin/Perl or #!/usr/bin/Perl.

• Next you will need to  Set the location of your servers Sendmail Program
  $SEND_MAIL = "/usr/lib/sendmail"; # Note That /usr/sbin/sendmail is the default.

•  Set The URL of Your Website you wish to promote. if you want this script to promote multiple email address' add the hidden field "promoteurl" into your form by adding this html code right before the submit buttoms <input type="hidden" name="promoteurl" value="YourURL.Com"> and change $My_Site_Url = "http://e-walks.tk"; to $My_Site_Url = $FORM{promoteurl};. If you don't want other people to use your script it is best to just change http://ewalks.tk to your website url
  $My_Site_Url = "http://e-walks.tk";

• What Email address do you want the Email to come from?  1 = your email address 2 = senders email address
  $Whos_Email = "2";

• The Subject Of The Email That the referred People Receive 
  Add $FORM{who_name} where you want the persons r/name from the form put.
  $Tell_Friend_Subject = "$FORM{who_name}, I Just Found An Interesting Site";

•  If you Answered 1 to the last variable, Whats your Email? Always put a \ before the @ sign. Otherwise you will get error 500's
  $My_Email = "my_name\@my_host.com";

• This is what sets the actual body of the message. you don't have to edit this, and if you aren't too sure about CGI scripts leave it as it is :)
  $Tell_a_Friend_Text=
  Don't edit the lines containing __Stop_Of_Email_Message__ else the script wont find the start / end of your email message

• And finally you can edit the thank you page, to match the design of your website, however, if you are using an email address (with an @ sign) always put a \ before the @. 
  Don't Edit the lines containing __End_Of_Thanks_Page__ Else the script wont be able to find the start / end of your thanks page.

I would be grateful to have a link from the thank you page of the script you are using.  I don't mind it being a small link or whatever.  But fair is fair ;)
