There's lots of these libs.  uncgi is one I like pretty
well--just sticks cgi vars into envirnoment.

And actually, I found a few form2mail scripts.  After posting, I
did some proper googling.

I'm more worried about things like DOS from a bogus content
length header and spam via mail header injection and of course
buffer overflows.   So I'd still be interested if folks here have
scripts they have audited and like.

heh.

I think a closer analogy is building a house from stone not
sticks.
