The email body is not being sent in the email.

As others in this thread have stated there are many reasons why this could be happening and without amplifying information there is no way to tell what is going on.

Nevertheless let me forge on with a suggested change in your strategy:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use warnings;

open(FIN,"< /opt/autotree/autouser/out/chk_cal_date.out")
      or die $!;
my $old_ifs=$/; # Lets nullify the IRS.
$/=undef;

my $slurp=<FIN>;

$/=$old_ifs; # Restore the IFS

close FIN;

send_the_mail('you@there.com','a subject',$slurp);

exit(0);

sub send_the_mail {
 my($addr,$subject,$body)=@_;

 open(PIPE,sprintf("| mailx -s %s %s",$subject,$addr))
    or die $!;
 print <PIPE> $body;
 close PIPE;
}

__END__

Unfortunatly using a mail PM like Mail::Mailer is not an option.

I am mildly curious: why isn't this an option? It would certainly be a much cleaner approach in my honest opinion...

Hope this helps.
