Need Help??

in reply to Sendmail query

It might.
Check with whomever administers that machine to verify the sendmail installation is probably the best starting point. That'll tell you if the path exists. Will your script work? who knows? :-)

Also, you may wish to investigate the $^O variable :


my $mailprog;
if (lc($^O) eq "mswin32")
    #here is winland. 
    {$mailprog = 'C:\sendmail\sendmail.exe'} 
    # or whatever. I don't use sendmail on windows.
else
    #here is *nixland
    {$mailprog = "/usr/lib/sendmail"}

Update : Duh. Fixed error thanks to chromatic.
