It may be worth having a look at the SyslogScan package on CPAN - This package can be used to parse sendmail logs and return a wealth of information on mail usage. For example, using this package, your code could be reduced to:
use SyslogScan::DeliveryIterator;
use strict;
my $logs = [ '/var/adm/syslog/mail.log' ];
my $iterator = new SyslogScan::DeliveryIterator( syslogList => $logs )
+;
while ( my $delivery = $iterator->next() ){
print $delivery->{Sender} . " -> " .
join( ",", @{$delivery->{ReceiverList}} ), "\n";
}
This package is also discussed in the sample chapter of the excellent resource "Perl for System Administration" which can be found here.

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).
