Hello, I am having trouble passing a variable to a function to use smtp. In the snippet below, the basic problem is that the $mailid variable is not being interpreted. Everything seems to be fine but no mail is sent. However, if a straight email address account is used instead of a variable, it works fine. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks! 
use Net::SMTP;
$var1="value1";
$var2="value2";
 &sendm($var1,$var2);

sub sendm() {
        my $emailid = $_[0];
        my $subject = $_[1];

        $smtp->to('$emailid\@address.com'); 
        smtp->datasend("To: $mailid\@address.com\n");
}
