You are using $FILE in your system() call, which you don't define, but you do have an open FILE, "<", "output.txt" right above it, so I think that you think that using $FILE at the end of the system command will use output.txt as the input, which is incorrect. The correct code would be
system "mailx -s \"Testing Report\" name@company.com < output.txt";
You could also open a pipe with
open MAILX, "| mailx -s \"Testing Report\" name@company.com";
and write to MAILX to bypass creating the file altogether.

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).
