Re: Extract field from pipe delimited flat file

[MZSanford]

maybe ... (untested code ahead) :

while (my $line = <INPUT>) {
    my ($time,$email,$name,@addr) = split(/\|/,$line);
    # use $email for cool stuff here
    # or add to an array for mailing.
}

As for mailing multiple recipients, i do suggest using Net::SMTP, but you could pass a coma seperated list of addresses to something like sendmail.
