Hi All, I have a problem. My PERL script which runs on a Windows NT platform needs to send email. I know that this can be done on UNIX. I have no idea how to do do this for Windows NT. I have the following code which works on UNIX but not on Windows NT. Any suggestions how to do this for WIN NT?
sub send_email { my($subject, @msg) = @_; my($mailx) = "/usr/bin/mailx -s \"${subject}\" " . join(' ', @emailaddrs); open(MAILX, "|$mailx"); flush(MAILX); print MAILX join("\n", @msg), "\n"; close MAILX; print BUILDOUT "email notification sent to:\n"; print BUILDOUT @emailaddrs, "\n"; return; }
