There's lots of these libs.  uncgi is one I like pretty
well--just sticks cgi vars into envirnoment.

And actually, I found a few form2mail scripts.  After posting, I
did some proper googling.

I'm more worried about things like DOS from a bogus content
length header and spam via mail header injection and of course
buffer overflows.   So I'd still be interested if folks here have
scripts they have audited and like.

I think a closer analogy is building a house from stone not
sticks.
