# at this point is where I need the vars to post. Make sense? Obviousl
+y, we would not need to use all of the above modules/libraries

# the mojo script goes on and on to process emails as it would, but we
+ wish to avoid that so here we would execute the lines mentioned by R
+oger.

 # build variables to pass to PHP via post
my %vars = (
    var1 => $var1, # the email vars would be here I believe?
    var2 => $var2,
    # ...
);


# then we would do the post thing

# send the POST to php
my $url = "http://domain.com/test.php";
my $req = new HTTP::Request;
my $res = $us->post($url, \%vars);

The current set up is that the command line email alias forwards the message test@domain.com to this script. This script is then usually used to operate a perl mailing list discussion pacakge called mojo mail. I wish to simply use it to parse the email and move the vars on to php.

Thanks, Nathan
