in thread CGI Recipient

Sorry about being so vague. here is a snip of the code: 
$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail';

# Recipient of form responses
$recipient = 'test@test.edu';

# Print out a content-type for HTTP/1.0 compatibility
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

# Get the input
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});

# Split the name-value pairs
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);

foreach $pair (@pairs)
{
    ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);

    # Un-Webify plus signs and %-encoding
    $value =~ tr/+/ /;
    $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;

    # Stop people from using subshells to execute commands
    # Not a big deal when using sendmail, but very important
    # when using UCB mail (aka mailx).
    # $value =~ s/~!/ ~!/g; 

    # Uncomment for debugging purposes
    # print "Setting $name to $value<P>";

    $FORM{$name} = $value;
}

# Print title and header info for user response
&user_response;

$date = `date`;

# Now send mail to $recipient formatted in HTML
# Note: MIME, Subject and Content lines must appear EXACTLY as they do
+ below
#    (only one \n after Subject line!)
open (MAIL, "|$mailprog $recipient") || die "Can't open $mailprog!\n";
print MAIL "Reply-to: $FORM{'email'} ($FORM{'name'})\n";
print MAIL "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
print MAIL "Subject: ES Internal Routing Form> $FORM{'name'}: $FORM{'i
+d'} \n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii\n";
print MAIL "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
print MAIL "<html><head>\n";
print MAIL "<title>HR ";
print MAIL "ES Internal Routing Form</title>\n";
print MAIL "</head>\n";
print MAIL "<body bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" text=\"#000000\" link=\"#003366\

print MAIL "alink=\"#666666\" vlink=\"#6699CC\">\n";
print MAIL "<center><table border=0 width=99%>";
print MAIL "<tr><td align=left>";

print MAIL "<b>Name: </b>$FORM{'name'}<br>";
print MAIL "<b>SS#: </b>$FORM{'ss'}<br>";
print MAIL "<b>ID#: </b>$FORM{'id'}<br>";
print MAIL "<b>Dept: </b>$FORM{'deptnumber'}<br>";
print MAIL "<b>Title: </b>$FORM{'title'}<br>";
print MAIL "<b>US Citizen? </b>$FORM{'ckusyes'} $FORM{'ckusno'}<br>";

When the user selects $FROM {'ckusno') I would like for an additional recipient be added to the form. GD

    First, you can send to multiple email addresses by putting them as arguments to sendmail. That is, a space separated string. 
    $recipient = "foo@example.com bar@example.com";

    Second, you aren't formatting the email correctly. There must be a blank line between the header and the body.

    Third, you should include a To: line in the header with a list of the email addresses being sent to (separated by commas). sendmail will not add the header automatically. If you don't, the mail will show "To: undisclosed-recipients;". And probably be filtered out by spam filters. Sendmail will read the list of addresses from the To: header if you use the "-t" command line switch.

      It is not sending to the multiple email addresses that I am having a problem with, although, your tip on the formatting is a huge help. What I am looking for is to take the field 
      print MAIL "<b>US Citizen? </b>$FORM{'ckusyes'} $FORM{'ckusno'}<br>";

      When the 'ckusno' is true or slected then an additional email recipient is added. I don't want to inundate the additional recipient with every form, only when this field is valid. Thanks,

    Just include a test for the selection and if it's true, set $recipient to 'test@test.edu' and 'additional@test.edu' before you call  open (MAIL, "|$mailprog $recipient") || die "Can't open $mailprog!\n";

      I was going down this route initially if ($FORM{'ckusr'}<=> " ") { $recipient = 'test@test.edu','test1@test.edu; } else { $recipient = 'test@test.edu';

      Sorry about the blanks, a little hicup I was going down this route 
      
if ($FORM{'ckusr'}<=> " ") {
    $recipient = 'test@test.edu','test1@test.edu;

} else {
    $recipient = 'test@test.edu';

      GD Thanks for the input by the way.
