My guess is that FormMail.pl punts error messages to stdout (to the client) as well as to the server's error_log. Either way, this is Apache giving you a clue and almost entirely and absolutely nothing to do with FreeBSD (or any other OS for that matter). Sit in on <news:comp.infosystems.www.unix.servers> and you'll se this come up 5 times a day. The trick is to read the install script for FormMail.pl and do what it tells you. Oh and by the way, it *is* a rocket science.
