I don't how to bite this one. CGI script gets its data from HTML form
that goes something like
<form method=GET action="http://.../cgi-bin/name_email.py">
name: <input name="name">
email: <input name="email">
<input type="submit">
</form>
When user click "submit" button, CGI script will get name/email data
in QUERY_STRING environment variable.
Read documentation on 'cgi.py' for how to parse the data into
dictionary. As far as database, what's wrong with Python dictionary
that goes something like
name_email = {'Antich': 'jaa418 at telcel.net.ve', ...}
