Hi,
I just want to know how to send e-mail from perl. I just tried the following code :
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
sub sendemail
{
my ($to, $from, $subject, $message) = @_;
my $sendmail = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
open(MAIL, "|$sendmail -oi -t");
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
print MAIL "$message\n";
close(MAIL);
}
&sendemail("myemail@gmail.com", "myemail@yahoo.com", "Test perl mail",
+ "This is the test mail from perl");
it returned me the following errors:
Name "main::gmail" used only once: possible typo at ./mail.pl line 15.
Name "main::yahoo" used only once: possible typo at ./mail.pl line 15.
Pls help me...
Thanks in advance !!!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
