Re: Re: MAIL::Sendmail Problem

Thanks for your input, Paulster2

As far as putting the URL in a variable, the message text changes a lot from project to project, and we use several different URLs. Usually, I get the message text from Big Boss or another project leader via e-mail. A little cut-and-paste with the message text, tweak the database calls, and fire.

Hmmm... I did this code a few years ago using examples and did not use strict. I am going to fix that now, then perform a suitable act of contrition so I never forget to use strict again.

Sounds like a good place to use a heredoc.	[reply]

It's a great place to use heredoc. (probably why I never thought of it...)	[reply]

You could also put the entire message in a flat file or something, then read it into a generic sending script. This would make it real easy to change everything. Again it's a cut and paste operation, but your PERL code wouldn't have to change every time that the boss says send. Paulster2 Not a sermon, just a thought!	[reply]
