Hi.

I'm having configuration troubles with a free form processor I'm using
for the first time, and, since I know naff all about perl (or, come to
that, nt!), figured this was the place to cry "AAGH!".

First things first: This is for a website, commercial, the first one
I've done involving cgi/perl. The server is an nt box, using
activestate's nt version of perl5. The space is on fasthosts.com
servers. The host reseller (a freind of mine) is on holiday, and I
can't get to him (getting a picture of fubarbundy yet? I may, by the
end of this, be bald as a coot!).

The form processor comes from FreeScripts.com:
http://www.freescripts.com/cgi-bin/page.pl?htmldir=scripts/free&page=f
ormprocessor

Page that calls the form processor:
http://www.moorcroftcollectoronline.com/contacting-us.html

And here's the all important error message:
    CGI Error
    The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning
    a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

    Can't locate cgi-lib.pl in @INC (@INC contains: c:/Perl/lib
    c:/Perl/site/lib .) at e:\domains\moorcroftcollectoronline.com
    \user\htdocs\cgi-bin\form_processor.pl line 19.

As far as I can see, I've configured what needs to be configured, but,
given the above, I've fouled up somewhere - anyone got any hints,
idea, or better yet, tell me exactly where I screwed up, please?!

Many, many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Please note that I'm on the digest version, so replies may be slow in
coming, unless you contact me off-list. replys will, of course, be
copied to the lsit (personal habit, and IMNSHO, good manners!).

Many, many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
