FeedbackForm

When you publish something on the Web, it's great to receive thoughtful feedback from readers; there's no faster or better way to find and fix everything from typos to yawning logical chasms in your argumentation than to submit your work to the global peer review which the Internet enables. What's not great are the consequences of publishing your E-mail address on a Web page to invite such feedback. Should you be so unwise, you'll quickly discover what it's like to leave your door unlocked in today's Internet slum. FeedbackForm is a CGI application, written in the Perl language, which allows visitors to your Web pages to send feedback identifying the page from which it was sent, without ever disclosing your E-mail address. To avoid ruminations of robots and memos from morons, submitters are asked to solve a simple linear equation in order to have their feedback transmitted. Trusted correspondents can be added to a white list, and may send feedback without solving a problem. You can configure the difficulty of the problem the user must solve (or disable it entirely, if you dare).
