Hi Hippo.. Your command works fine on the command line.. I can't get it to work in the perl script using a variable for the email.. If I assign your example exactly it works fine.. But if I try to use a variable for a literal email it fails despite everything I've tried to make it work.. I've even tried to build a concatenated string or use substitution to replace a dummy "EMAIL" with actual value.. I've tried every Google search I can think of.. Any suggestions?

This example works fine
$SENDVAR1 = q(perl -MDigest::SHA=sha256_hex -E 'say sha256_hex(q/XXXX/
+)');
my $email_SHA256 = print qx($SENDVAR1);

This doesn't work:
$SENDVAR1 = q(perl -MDigest::SHA=sha256_hex -E 'say sha256_hex(q/$EMAI
+L_IN/)');
my $email_SHA256 = print qx($SENDVAR1);
