I need a more efficient or better way to do this, my current script has a static number of emails to send. My new script needs it to be dynamic. I can only send at most 8 email address per time. Here's my code: 
#Telnets to SASUX101 to send email 
print "Attempting to telnet into SASUX101 to email txt files\n";      
+         
$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 12000, 
            Prompt => '/\> $/');
$username = "user";
$passwd = "pass";

$email_g1 = "$email_list[0] $email_list[1] $email_list[2] $email_list[
+3] $email_list[4] $emails[5]  $me";
$email_g2 = " $email_list[6] $email_list[7] $email_list[8] $email_list
+[9]  $me";

     $t->cmd("mailx -s 'usage' $email_g1 <test$date.txt");
     $t->cmd("mailx -s 'usage' $email_g2 <test$date.txt");

I need to make this dynamic based on how many email address I have for it to send multiple addresses with 5 or 6 in each email group. How would I do this? I am limited to only emailing through mailx on unix. I know I need to create a loop but not sure how to make it work. I have only been programming in Perl for 2 months. Any help would be appreciated.
