Hide e-mail address

[D]

On 26/6/ there was an interesting thread on hiding an e-mail address from harvesting, can someone explain the option below in the most simplest way for a total newbie. I would like to do this on my 'first' web site but have no idea where to start.
One option: Use forms that are processed by whichever server-side scripting is supported by your web
host, this way the email address is never visible on the web site.

The first step is to find out what server-side scripting is suported by your
web host.

The second is to not put your email address anywhere on the site.

The process is not that complicated, but it does require custom coding.

#1 Find out what scripting language(s) is(are) supported by the host.
#2 Create a form to gather the information, and set the action to a custom
server script
#3 Custom script will gather information from form, and send the email

What complicates things is knowing which scripting to use and the components
for it to send the email.

My server supports PHP, MySQL, Perl, and CGI scripts.
Can anyone point me in the direction of any examples or fool proof
instructions for me to try and set this up? I'll need the simplest of
instruction !!
regards and thanks
