Tutorials 1 to 10 - Intended for anyone with a site at Spaceports who is
interested in learning how to adapt existing CGI scripts.
They are designed to be read in order, and I definitely do not recommend skipping any steps.

I have now updated this tutorial to explain how to send the messages from your form into a file,
but I have been unable to test it myself. Any feedback from users who have tested this
modification would be much appreciated.
My main worry is that the script may not be able to write to the data file after the directory
is password protected.
Tutorials 7 and 9 are the only pages affected, and I have marked the changes, so those that have
installed the script before only need to read those pages.
Tutorial 1 - An introduction. A little about the
tutorial and what you will need.
Tutorial 2 - A simple script to get you started. The
famous 'Hello World' script.
Tutorial 3 - File Permissions a.k.a. CHMOD - the bane
of all those new to Perl and CGI.
Tutorial 4 - FTP Transfer Modes. The differences and
why they are important.
Tutorial 5 - Uploading. How to transfer the example
script.
Tutorial 6 - A script at last. The BNBForm form to
email script.
Tutorial 7 - Editing the form. Changes needed for the
HTML files.
Tutorial 8 - Editing the script. Changes needed for
the script files.
Tutorial 9 - Final stage. The finishing touches.
Tutorial 10 - Interplanetary travel. The two servers
explained.
Further information - Where you can find out more
about Perl scripts.
