You have a common precedence issue. Change the following line.
open FILE, $filename || die $!;
to
open FILE, $filename or die $!;
or if you really want to use ||
open(FILE,$filename) || die $!;
also it wouldn't hurt to be more verbose:
die "Could not open $filename: $!\n";
UPDATE:
The usage of the \g modifier is for multiple matching,substituting,etc.
you don't need it if you know what you are searching for only occurs once
as is the case:
The original value of $from is "--from me@mydomain.com \"
EXAMPLE:
$str ='abcd';
$str =~s/a//g; # \g unnecessary
##
$str = 'abacad';
$str =~s/a//g; # more appropriate
It wouldn't hurt to also have a look at

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).
