Many thanks to chromatic btrott and even BBQ on my last post about getting a filehandle to write to with Mailer::Mail. I posted some additional info yesterday, but I fear no-one has seen it and we've moved to another page, so, just on the off-chance someone has some additional thoughts, herein the additional information:

I can print() to $mailer but I cannot write() to it.

Here are the errors.
Write on closed filehandle at ./format_eg.pl line 77. Write on closed filehandle at ./format_eg.pl line 78.
Lines 77 and 78 are the two write statements in the code below. The code works on STDOUT and a normal file. Here is the code. 


       sub Write_Data{

       format STDOUT =
       @<<<<<<<<<<@<<<<<<<<<<<@<<<<<<<<<<<<@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
       shift(@printrows), shift(@printrows), shift(@printrows),
       shift(@printrows)
       .

           my $To =    'dvmrgn@home.com';
           my %mail_header = ('To', $To,
                               'From', 'webmaster@onlinerenter.com',
                               'Subject', 'Test of New Clients Report'
+);

           my $mailer = new Mail::Mailer 'smtp',
       Server=>'smtp.telusplanet.net';
           $mailer->open(\%mail_header);
           my $ofh = select($mailer);
           $~ = "STDOUT";
           write ;
           write ;
           $mailer->close;
           select($ofh);
       } # End of write_data

There endeth the question, much thanks in advance if you have some insight/wisdom to share.
