The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

From Google I see this formMail.cgi is perl script (which I know

It would seem to me, any "script" language would lack some form of
editing to stop spammers. Apparently there are crawlers looking for this
formMail.cgi to exploit.

There have been many incarnations of FormMail.pl over the years. The
older ones were extremely insecure. The problem was that the email
address to receive the completed form could be overridden by the user
filling out the form. Spammers would just connect to the form, pass it
their spam with a victim's address, repeat.
The newer Perl script does not allow this.
You said formMail.cgi which could be completely different.
On another note, I would be really upset if I found out the credit app I
just filled out was then emailed to someone instead of being securely
stored on a server.
