in reply to seeking sendmail enlightenment

I did't see end the email (with a period on it's own line). 
open (MAIL, "| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
print MAIL <<EndMail;
To: user\@host.com
From: Mail Report
Subject: $subj
EndMail
print MAIL `This is a test.\n`;
print MAIL "\n.\n"; # A single period on its own line.
close MAIL;

    I just finished debugging this problem on a server running 5.8.0. The thing is, I never had to do this under 5.6.1 or 5.003. I know it's always been a command line requirement, but does anyone know if this is a new requirement in 5.8, or is this a bug?
