libwww-perl might be something to look at.  It's a library for perl
that allows it to act like a web client.  After reciving the input
from your form, you could essentially use it as the input to the
official form.  If you happen to have the manpage installed it would
be 'man LWP'.  Otherwise search for LWP in perldoc.com.  There's
probably something similar for PHP as well.
