Re: email subject issue in mailx

I don't know why you are having a problem — you didn't even say for which values it fails — but the problem might be avoidable by avoiding the shell. Always a good idea anyway.

open(my $fr_uuencode, '-|',
    uuencode => ( $file )
)
    or die $!;

open(my $to_mailx, '|-',
    mailx => (
        -s => $subject,
        -m => 'sam@pull.com',
    )
)
    or die $!;

print $to_mailx $_ while <$fr_uuencode>;

Thanks for ur quick response... I tried ur code and faced the error: Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference at 1.pl line 4. The code I used is: `#!/tools/sde/frame.sde/bin/perl $subject="I am subject"; $hfile="/aim2/actiview/web/scripts/samweb/perl-lib/mbm/mbm_csv/test1/t +2.csv"; open(my $fr_uuencode, '-\|', uuencode => ( $hfile ) ) or die $!; open(my $to_mailx, '\|-', mailx => ( -s => '$subject', -m => 'manjunath.bm\@alcatel-lucent.com mbm\@alcatel-lucent.co +m', ) ) or die $!; print $to_mailx $_ while <$fr_uuencode>;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

`-s => '$subject',` Don't know about your "undefined value as filehandle reference" error (Update: actually I do: you seem to have an ancient Perl (pre 5.6.1)), but you likely don't want single quotes around `$subject`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

In addition to issues identified by almut, `'manjunath.bm\@alcatel-lucent.com mbm\@alcatel-lucent.com'` [download] produces the string `manjunath.bm\@alcatel-lucent.com mbm\@alcatel-lucent.com` [download] You want `'manjunath.bm@alcatel-lucent.com mbm@alcatel-lucent.com'` [download] or `"manjunath.bm\@alcatel-lucent.com mbm\@alcatel-lucent.com"` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
