in reply to sendmail script

I don't know about problems in the code as you presented it. But if it were me, I'd be using Mime::Lite for that job. The code would look something like (untested):

use MIME::Lite;

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
             From     =>'senders@email.address',
             To       =>'my@email.address',
             Subject  =>'this is the subject line',
             );

$msg->send ();

    You introduced an error. 

                 From     =>'senders\@email.address',
             To       =>'my\@email.address',

    should be 

                 From     =>'senders@email.address',
             To       =>'my@email.address',

    [download]

    or 

                 From     =>"senders\@email.address",
             To       =>"my\@email.address",
