Hi All, I am trying to use mutt command to mail using perl. My code is as follows. There are 3 files viper1.csv, viper2.csv and viper3.csv in the directory /main/attachments. I am trying to attach send mail with one file attached at a time to abc@gmail.com with subject as mailtemplate.txt. 

$fileName = 'viper';
$main::mailTemplate = '/main/etc/mailtemplate.txt'
$main::outputDir = '/main/attachments';
$main::delAddress = 'abc@gmail.com';

chdir $main::outputDir or die "can't cd";
@files = `ls|grep $fileName`;

foreach(@files) {
$main::delFileName = $_;
print $main::delFileName; #prints the correct file name
my $result = `cat $main::mailTemplate|mutt -s "TITLE OF MAIL" -a $main
+::outputDir\/$main::delFileName $main::delAddress`;
}

The error i am getting is "Error - sh: line 1: abc@gmail.com: command not found"
When I replicate the code for just one file it works. 

$main::mailTemplate = '/main/etc/mailtemplate.txt'
$main::outputDir = '/main/attachments';
$main::delAddress = 'abc@gmail.com'
$main::delFileName = 'viper1.csv';

my $result = `cat $main::mailTemplate|mutt -s "MAIL TITLE" -a $main::o
+utputDir\/$main::delFileName $main::delAddress`;
