I'm running an informix product called Web datablade that lets you do a whole mess of DB stuff from an web front end. This is supposed to grab some input from a webpage:

the stuff in <?MIVAR NAME=SRVC> and <?MIEXEC SERVICE=$SRVC REQUEST=RAWPERL> is the informix proprietary method of doing things and my script (smtpmail.pl) looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
require 5.002;
BEGIN {$ENV{PATH} = '/usr/ucb:/bin'};

#Specify Modules
use Socket;
use Carp;
use FileHandle;
use English;

$text      = @ARGV[0];
$address = @ARGV[1];
$syscmd = "echo $text | rmail";   
print "$syscmd\n";
system ( $syscmd );
      /^RAWPERL/ && do {
          $fileName = '/tmp/' . $port . '.tmp';
          $execute .= "\n";
          undef(%results);# $execute string may create results
              $fileHandle = &executeCommand($fileName, $attributes, $e
+xecute);
          
          while ( <$fileHandle> ) { # # send back results
              $bodyResult .= $_;
          }
          close $fileHandle;
          
          last SWITCH;
      };
      $bodyResult = " REQUEST \"$_\" is unkown";

But it always seems to crap out and the message is never sent. I get the following error message: 
$ echo 55379 | rmail

sendmail: Message has no valid recipients

Any ideas would be much thanked.
