Do I need to know Perl to use Soupermail?
Other than editing a few lines of the Soupermail script to install it, you shouldn’t have to know anything about Perl to run Soupermail. All the Soupermail templates are text based, and don’t rely on Perl knowledge. However, many ISPs will want to security vet any CGI that goes onto their server (and very sensible they are too for doing so), so it best that you read the Soupermail manual page well before asking your ISP to install it for you. HOWEVER, if you are a webmaster, are maintaining a website, and have permissions to install Perl CGI programs, I strongly suggest you make an effort to learn some Perl. Its not hard, and it will save you a lot of grief in the long run (believe me, I’ve been there and done it). Read the next answer for some pointers.
