Hello - I have the following CGI in CGI-BIN, its short sendmail program: 
#!/usr/bin/perl strict

my $sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
my $from = "From: Foo@Bar.com\n";
my $subject  = "Subject: Request to share information\n";
my $content  = "Hello...";
my $to       = "To: user\@ameritech.net\n\n";
my $recipient = "schafferm\@ameritech.net\n\n";
open(SENDMAIL, "|$sendmail $recipient") or die 
"Cannot open $sendmail: $!";
                                      
print SENDMAIL $subject;
print SENDMAIL $from;                 
print SENDMAIL $to;
print SENDMAIL $content;
close(SENDMAIL);

[download]

I then call this from HTML - via a java scripted button w/ /cgi-bin/sendanon.cgi

sendanon.cgi has been set wide open for the time being with chmod 777.

the script executes and yields the following error:

[Mon Jul 15 08:16:26 2002] [error] (2)No such file or
directory: exec of /CompleteAct/domains/organexchange.org/http-lib/cgi
+-
bin/sendanon.cgi failed

[download]

any ideas?
