Never mind. Ignore this post. I am having difficulty keeping track of what I am doing. I have a duplicate of website on local machine. I was using hosts to keep from accessing files on line but what a horror having to change hosts when I want to go to the live site. Got screwed up as to what file I was using. Sorry. This is wrong thread. Could not find link to start a new one. Went from compile error to software error. Problem with sendmail. Trying to block out section of code for testing Ttried the = for comments and =cut Didn't work Tried # on every line. Didn't work?? Error before comment out # Same after all the # Global symbol "$mailprog" requires explicit package name at /home/jalamior/www/cgi-bin/lib/perl/manageusers.pm line 777. 
#my $mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail -oi';
#my $mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t';
#my $mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -q -t';
# FUNCTION:  open_sendmail_pipe($fh, $mailprog)
 # my ($fh, $mailprog) = @_;
  #       $result = open $fh, "| $mailprog"
    #$result = open $fh, "| $mailprog";
  #die "Can't open $mailprog\n" unless $result;
  # open_sendmail_pipe(\*MAIL, $mailprog);
   #close (MAIL) || die "close mailprog: \$?=$?,\$!=$!";

Suggestion from monks =for comment die "testing"; =cut All the code between =for comment and =cut dimmed out. Same with all the # but still error message: Global symbol "$mailprog" requires explicit package name at /home/jalamior/www/cgi-bin/lib/perl/manageusers.pm line 777. No instances of "$mailprog" exist which are not commented out. Help!!!!!
