Need Help??

If you're running your script from a Unix box and you have Sendmail installed, you can always add this to your print:

my $mailprogram = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; # or path to your sendmail
open (MAIL,"|$mailprogram -t");
  print MAIL "To: toaddress\@example.com\n";
  print MAIL "From:fromaddress\@example.com\n\n";
  print MAIL $yourdata;
  #### Existing code that prints to the screen ###
  print "$yourdata\n";
  #### End of print to screen ###
close(MAIL);

Hopefully this helps. I can't say it will or will not work for sure with your program since I haven't seen it.
