Is there already a CGI script that will submit a form's information to an e-mail address?

Of course! A good place to look is Hotscripts.com. I've made a link for you to go straight to the "Form Processors" section of their CGI area right here.

They have a TON of scripts. They have a lot of PHP form processors, too, which you might find a little easier to set up and implement. I don't mean to rain on your parade by suggesting PHP instead, it's just my $0.02.

Crap... looking through this assignment, it looks like a pre-made CGI script isn't going to cut it. It looks like I'm going to have to create a bash CGI script. It's calling for certain length requirements for variables, a dictionary check for password, too much for a pre-made to handle. But:

How do I perform a dictionary password check through bash?

How do I send an e-mail through a command line?

I should be able to handle the rest.

Sorry, but this turned into a program question rather than a network question, move the thread if applicable.

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but if the package sys-apps/miscfiles is installed, you could use grep, if there's any output it's in the dictionary file:
