This should be a relatively simple problem to fix for those of you with more wisdom. It comes from using strict. I am calling upon 2 variables created when a function is run from an module. The script is as follows: 
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use Mail::SendMail;

my %mail=( To       => 'xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com',
          From       => 'yyyyyyy@hyyyyy.edu',
           Message => "Message Body"
         );

   sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::SendMail::error;
   print "Log Message:\n", $Mail::SendMail::log;

The error states that I have only used $Mail::SendMail::error and $Mail::SendMail::log once during
the script and relates this to a possible typo,
("Mail::SendMail::error" used only once: possible typo ....)
when all I want to do is call the variables once, since, supposedly they have been defined since
the call to the sendmail() function. How can I fix this error?
