Hi... i have this code.... 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Mail::Internet;
require Mail::Address;
use Mail::Header;
use File::Find;

my $dir = "/var/spool/cyrus/mail/domain/r/domain.tld";


find(\&find_emails => $dir);

sub find_emails {
    return unless /\A[0-9]\.\z/;
    return unless -f $File::Find::name;
    process_an_email($File::Find::name);
    return;
  #  print $File::Find::name, "\n";
}

$fecha =`date +%F--%k:%M`;

sub process_an_email {
    my ($file) = @_;
open(FILE, $file);
$mi_obj = new Mail::Internet(\*FILE);
close(FILE);
$mi_obj->add("Procesado-por-script", "Si");
$mi_obj->add("Fecha-de-Procesamiento", \$fecha);
$mi_obj->head->replace("Subject", "Tengo hambre.....");
@cuerpo = ("\nEsta es una prueba... reemplazando el cuerpo\n");
$mi_obj->body( \@cuerpo);
open(STDOUT, '>', "$file\.new");
$mi_obj->print_header(\*STDOUT);
$mi_obj->print_body(\*STDOUT);
chown(104, 8, "$file\.new");
}

Everything is working as I need, but now i need to add other header with the date... an that is in the variable $fecha, but every time i execute the script in the header: Fecha-de-Procesamiento: i Got: Fecha-de-Procesamiento: SCALAR(0x88deda8) However if i change: this line: $mi_obj->add("Fecha-de-Procesamiento", \$fecha); By: $mi_obj->add("Fecha-de-Procesamiento", $fecha); when i execute the script i got: Use of uninitialized value $line in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Header.pm line 175. Use of uninitialized value $line in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Header.pm line 175. Use of uninitialized value $line in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Header.pm line 175. Use of uninitialized value $line in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Header.pm line 175. So... How can i show the date in the format that i need??? And other question is: Why everything that I print is not going to STDOUT... because i am redirecting to a variable $file?, is there a way to redirect the STDOUT only in the sub process_an_email...? and in the rest keep it working as usual? Thanks... a lot Michael.-
