It looks like you are missing the leading quotation mark
in your system call. Running perl -wc on your code will
help you find small errors like this.
Update: I ran perl -wc on this code and it didn't
spit out any errors, so it wouldn't have helped you in this
case. It's still a good idea to use it though :)
I would try and shy away from writing the mail to a temp
file though; it will be a headache for you if the directory
or file permissions ever get changed. I would probably do
something like:
open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi -em")
|| die "Couldn't open sendmail: $!";
print MAIL <<EOM;
To: me\@mycompany.com
From: myscript\@mycompany.com
Subject: Some subject
$reportdata
EOM
close (MAIL);

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).
