Hello:

I wrote a subroutine to format three string variables. The subroutine is: 
sub format_email_text
{
my $str;
my $str1;
my $str2;

$str=sprintf("%-30s %-50s","Player Name:",$player);
$str1=sprintf("%-30s %-50s","Parent's Name:",$parent);
$str2=sprintf("%-30s %-50s","Member ID:",$memberid);

return ($str);
return ($str1);
return ($str2);
}

I then call this subroutine in another subroutine which sends an email. The email subroutine looks like: 
sub send_confirmation_email
{
my $text = format_email_text ();
my %mail = (
        From     => "info\@somewhere.com",
        To         => $email,
        Subject => "Some Subject",
        Message => ""
);
my $page;

        $mail{Message} = <<EOF;
  
This is the information you submitted.

$text


EOF

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

    return (defined ($page) ? $page : "");
}

When I run the script, I should receive an email showing all three variables instead the email only shows the first variable. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you.
