note: yes the *'s are just me removing any e-mail info here is my actually code 
#!perl
use strict;
use Net::SMTP;

open STDERR, ">errlog.log" or
  die "Couldn't open errlog.log: $!\n";

open CONFIG, "config.ini" or
  die "Couldn't open config.ini: $!\n";

dbmopen(my %DATA, "mail_database", undef) or
  die "Cannot open database: $!\n";

chomp(my ($from, $server, $message_path) = <CONFIG>);

if($from =~ /^E-MAIL:\s?(\w+(\.)?\w+\@\w+\.\w+)/){
  $from = $1;
}
if($server =~ /^SERVER:\s?(\w+\.\w+.\w+)/){
  $server = $1;
}
if($message_path =~ m<^MESSAGE_PATH:\s?((\.?(/|\\)?\w+)+)>){
  $message_path = $1;
}

open MESSSAGE, "$message_path" or
  die "Couldn't open '$message_path': $!\n";
chomp(my @message = <MESSAGE>);

my ($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $month) = localtime;
$month++;
my @send_to = &get_emails;

foreach(@send_to){
  my $smtp;
  $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($server, Timeout => 60, Debug => 1) or
    die "Couldn't connect to server '$server': $!.\n" unless $smtp;
    
  $smtp->mail($from);
  $smtp->to($_);
  $smtp->data();

  foreach(@message){
    $smtp->datasend($_);
