I got this from earlier post and it works great running in NT DOS where it opens
up my Outlook mail with NO problems:
my $outlookmail = "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/Outlook.ex
+e";
open (CMDLOG,"| $outlookmail") || die "$!";
close CMDLOG || die "$!";
But when I try and put it in a web page it does not work.
Here is Perl/CGI part called "outl.cgi":
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard); #Perl web CGI module
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
my $outlookmail = "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/Outlook.ex
+e";
open (CMDLOG,"| $outlookmail") || die "$!";
close CMDLOG || die "$!";
Web part:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="outl.cgi" METHOD="POST">
<TABLE width="60%">
<table><TR>
<TR><TD COLSPAN=2> </TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD> </TD>
<TD align="left"><input type="submit" value="Submit">
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Any suggestions????

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
