I send periodic emails to a variety of clients and the addresses change with the variety. I currently a form for the email composition and address the email to "undisclosed recipients (my email address) with BCC's going to the individual clients. I use the following code to accomplish that.

##sendmail_email.pl
#!C:/Perl/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw(:standard);

use HTML::Entities;
use Mail::Sendmail 0.79; # doesn't work with v. 0.74!

my $Recipient=param('Recipient');
my $Sender=param('Sender');
my $bcc_list=param('bcc_list');
my $Subject=param('Subject')
my $Message = param ('Message');

$html = <<END_HTML;

<p>$Message</p><p><font size="2"> 

END_HTML

my %mail; 
$mail{Smtp}="smtp.sendgrid.net";
$mail{Port}=587;
$mail{Auth}={user=>"Milt1", password=>"XXXXXXX", method => "LOGIN", re
+quired => 1};
$mail{To}=$Recipient;
$mail{From}= $Sender;
$mail {bcc}="$bcc_list";
$mail{Subject}=$Subject;      
$mail{'content-type'} = 'text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"';
  
$mail{body} = <<END_OF_BODY;
<html>$html</html>
END_OF_BODY

sendmail(%mail) || print "Error: $Mail::Sendmail::error\n";

&redirect;

sub redirect    {
print header(), start_html;
print "Your Message Was Sent\n\n";
}
exit;

I want to address each client individually by name and not utilize BCC's. Can this be done without reading from a 'file' saved on the server or can it be done by pasting the list into text area on the form named "Email_List", input into the cgi as: my $Email=param ('Email_List'); put into and array and read with a foreach loop? Something like this: 

my@=<$Email>;
if (@a) {
foreach $Address(@a)
{
$Recipient=$Address;

}
}

I haven't been able to get any of several trials to work. Any help/suggestions will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks!
