Re: Strings with @

Shouldn't you quote your email-address?

my $recipient="some.g.guy\@bigcorporation.com";
[download]

Otherwise perl is expecting some code after the =.

Update: added escaping of '@'. Forgot about that.

Actually he needs to use `''` or `q{}`, otherwise the `@bigcorporation` will be interpreted as the name of an array and he'll get a different message. Update: Not to mention changing `\|\|` to `or`, or else adding some parens in that `open` statement.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
