Hello:

I tried the format which you provided to me as a link to read on.

When I run my script, I receive the following message:
Global symbol "$text" requires explicit package name

Here is the what I did with the code:
#@ SEND_CONFIRMATION_EMAIL
sub send_confirmation_email
{
my %mail = (
        From     => "info\@summitwebcrafters.com",    # YOU SHOULD CHA
+NGE THIS!
        To         => $email,
        Subject => "Junior Program Registration Form Submitted",
        Message => ""
);
my $page;

        $mail{Message} = <<EOF;
Thank you for your inquiry.  A tennis staff member will reply to you w
+ithin 24 hours.

This is the information you submitted.

$text = "$name\n$memberid\n$phone"; 
format STDOUT =
Text:   ^*
          $text
~~ ^*
         $text
 . 

EOF

    sendmail (%mail)
        or $page .= p (escapeHTML ("Oops, failure sending mail to $mai
+l{To}"));

    return (defined ($page) ? $page : "");
}
#@ SEND_CONFIRMATION_EMAIL

Any ideas of what I did wrong? Thank you for any help in advance.
