Need help making an e-mail form

[clvezlys]

Hi guys,and especially DJ Runaway fans(Dj Runaway's ng name is Hypocritism).I'm making a webby,and want to make an e-mail form.
I've found some e-mail form scripts written in PERL but found a little problem too.
At the top of the script there is written

#!/usr/bin/perl
# location of Perl (above) - check your doc or ask admin

Can anyone help me and explain what that means?

Oh, one more think - you can either leave a post here or e-mail me
My e-mail is [e-mail]

For most servers you can leave this as it is - /usr/bin/perl is the most common location.
If it doesn't work, then log in to the server console and type
whereis perl

to display the location. Or ask your hosting company.
