PLEASE help with formail.pl and plesk 8.2.0

I have been trying for about 12 hours to make the formmail.pl script cooperate with my simple form page.

formmail version 1.92

server hosting our website is running plesk 8.2.0

Page was created in Dreamweaver CS3

html of the form: (note that I had to remove the < > characters to keep the html readable here, otherwise it just drops th actual form into the post)

form action="../cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="post" enctype="text/plain" name="contact" target="_blank" id="contact" dir="ltr" lang="en"
p class="style11">some text/p
p span class="style16" Name: /span
input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" value="Enter your full name here" size="53" /
/p
p span class="style16" e-mail:/span
input name="email" type="text" id="email" value="Enter your e-mail address here" size="53" /
/p
p
textarea name="comments" cols="48" rows="5" id="comments" Enter your questions, comments or suggestions here and click the 'Submit' button below.

A representative will contact you via e-mail, usually within 24 hours. /textarea
/p
p
input type="submit" name="submit-button" id="submit-button" value="Submit" /
input name="recipient" type="hidden" id="recipient" value="contact@mysiteaddress.com" /
/p
/form


Notice that there is no "results" value. This is because the tutorial I used to build the form completely glossed over it as if it were unimportant. I have had many 404 page not found errors as well a internal server errors in my quest to make this thing work, so I must need a results field in there somewhere, right?

Can someone PLEASE help me figure out what I need to do in order to make this run? Is there something in Plesk that needs to be adjusted or switched on/off to make this work properly?

Thank you in advance if you are able to assist,

-Sean
