Well, in this forum, you will only be able to work on the Perl script. Since this is not a script writing service, could you please post the code that you have tried so far? From there, we will help you get things working.
Also, not to be anal, but:
s/learnt/learned/
s/enuff/enough/
s/im/i'm/g
s/weather/whether/ # unless of course you are expecting rain
s/dosent/doesn't/
s/br/??/ # not sure what word this was supposed to be.
Perl can definitely get the information from a form and could even format it the way you wish, but we would like to see what you have tried.
Regards,
Jeff

unfortunatly i didnt get as fara s getting it to format itself for sending in an email..
it works so all i neeed to know is the basics of layout for sending in an email so it can be read :S
thanks for the assist
It is good to know how to write your own email function, but really, the MIME::Lite module takes care of all the behind the scenes stuff for you. You can send the email as plain text or html encoded, with attachements, as attachments, etc etc etc. It is not a core module but many hosts have it installed. cpan: MIME::Lite
If you are going to continue with your perl education and writing cgi scripts you must learn about fundamental cgi security. The first rule of cgi programming is:
never trust user input (never ever ever)
the second rule is: see the first rule.
All form fields must be checked and validated, use the -T switch on the shebang line and learn how to untaint data. Here are some links discussing cgi security resources: http://www.cgi101.com/book/ch19/

Thanks for that mate :) it's greatly appreciated. I only learn't enough about perl to make basic scripts so the scurity is somthing im still learning. Ill be putting the -T with the shebang line from now on and wih my old scripts as well :).
again thanks Kevin

And don't forget "use strict;" while you're trying to follow good programming practices.
And for style, use a here doc for output lots of html instead of multiple print statements. They're a lot easier to use since you don't have to spend all that effort escaping all those double quotes. Although, you do still have to escape the @: -
