How can I run a CGI script and use a server for a form for free?

Question

Ok, so i just started my own little website... www.rybomedia.com...i know, it's not much but i've had school and haven't had a lot of time to work on it...my idea is to have people submit their artwork to the site to be displayed...if you click on the "Submit Art" link, you'll see that i already have the form set up...however, it uses the mailto feature, which i don't want, plus it won't mail files...i downloaded a PERL cgi script, but am confused about what to do next...ANY tips would be great...thanks...

You can run your own server on an old computer. Thats what I do. It sounds like you could have it just run the script and nothing else. Then link to it from the webpage you are trying to do.

Or you can look for a webhost that will allow you to upload a script. Those are rare because they have to check each script to make sure you didnt put anything bad in it.

Or you can look for a webhost that already has a script available to its users which does the same thing. Thats probably most likely.
