You need to read the data into another variable and feed it instead of the file name. You can do this in a number of ways, including read and open / <INP> / close and so on, and this may not be the most efficient method due to my lack of experience, but here we go:
my $scratchtps="/usr/local/log/sctps";
sub mailme {
open (INP, $scratchtps) || die $!;
my $content = join('', <INP>);
close(INP);
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From => 'EDM01 <root@edm01.ohnet>',
To => 'Derek Smith <dbsmith@ohiohealth.com>',
Subject => "EDM Return Tapes",
Data => $content );
$msg->send;
}
if ( -s $scratchtps ) {
&mailme;
}
Questions to ask:
1. Is there a command for reading a file into a string variable?
2. Is there a way to output an entire array without having to join first, as I'm doing above?

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).
