Perl script for Forms

[KHill at liswa.wa.gov.au]

Hello Web4Liber's

I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction please?

I will be putting up a form on a new web site to allow people to register
for an online kids club.  I was planning on using a standard Forms
cgi-script  to mail the information back to a specific email address  (I
already have a very good free script to do this).  I would like an
autoreply to go back to the responder thanking them for their membership
application and ALSO (this is the bit I can't find!) giving them a
membership number.  I would like the number to be automatically generated
from a running number list.

I have no knowledge in writing scripts so am looking for a downloadable
perl script for UNIX that may meet my requirements.  Is this feasible?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers
