The script, FormMail.pl, needs to be placed in your server's cgi-bin and the anonymous WWW user must have the ability to read/execute the script. If you do not have access to your server's cgi-bin, yet you can execute cgi scripts, you may want to try adding a .cgi extension to the FormMail.pl, renaming it to FormMail.cgi. This is probably the more common option.
When you ftp to your website, do you have a cgi-bin folder or something similar?
If you do, then use the FormMail.pl file and put it in that folder.
If you don't then you may not be able to execute cgi scripts (doubtful), as most servers allow cgi.

And then change the address in the forms action property to point to "cgi-bin/FormMail.pl".
Replace "cgi-bin" with the name of the cgi folder if need be.
If that doesn't solve the problem then print out all the instructions and contact your server admin. and see if there is anything they must do to get you up and running.
