What would be the easiest way to make a newsletter or opt in form? Its for my site, and I'll be sending out updates via e-mail to subscribers. I would think it would be a form that sends the user to a CGI script which reroutes to my email. Can anyone suggest a good script? I know my host supports PERL so that would probably be good. If possible I'd like it so when they click Submit, they stay on the same page they submitted it from. I'd rather have them click Submit on the Home Page without being redirected, instead of having them click submit which sends them to a thank you page which sends them back to the home page, although this wouldn't be bad. Also, I would prefer a free script, however I don't like the ones that redirect to a thank you page with the company's advertisements all over it.
A simple ajax script could do it, where it take the fields data and sends them to a perl script that write the email address to a file. Then when you send out the newsletter it reads each email address from the file and emails everyone.
