Re^4: Mail::Sendmail multiline Message

In ksh, I am creating lines like:
echo "This is line1" >> mail_content (file)
echo "this is line2" >> mail_content

Then, "mail ..subject.. ip address.. < mail_content"

I am assuming same process in Perl??

That's not the process I would have used under `ksh`. I would build up a variable in `ksh` using a here-document or a string that spans multiple lines. The equivalent process to your `echo` approach would be to append the strings to a variable using the dot operator (`.`). Maybe you want to read perlop now?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
