foreach (@arr){
$users.= '$_.@gmail.com',
}
#print $users

my $subject ="hai team this is a test mail";

my $msg=MIME::Lite->new(
    From    =>'admin@xyz.com',
    To      => $users,
    Subject =>'Test mail Pl ignore!!!',

The lines `foreach (@arr){ $users.= '$_.@gmail.com', }` [download] are incorrect, the string is in single quotes and so $_ is not interpolated. They should be replaced with `$users = join ', ', @arr;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

More than that, you should send the email 'To' one address, and CC (or BCC) to one or multiple email addresses. Replacing ' with "" you will send emails to 'foo@gmail.combar@gmail.comkaboom@gmail.com' which I guess you can figure out is wrong :) What you should do is to send the email 'To: one@email.address.here' and 'CC: to@one.address.here, the.second@one.here' and so on ... Just have a look at MIME::Lite examples Dodge This!	[reply]

Have you printed out your recipient email adresses? Are you sure that they are what you think they should be? `print "Sending mail to $users. Hai guise!\n";` [download] You might want to read up on how double quotes (`"`) are different from single quotes (`'`), in perlop.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
