Hello Monks,

I have a cgi script that I have created for my company. In it I need to be able to pull values from a form and mail them to an alias. However, when I compile it I have an error thrown that I do not understand. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the error I get:

Bareword "MAIL" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at dra_feedback.cgi line 112.

Execution of dra_feedback.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.

Here are the instances of MAIL in my code. 


open (MAIL, "|/user/lib/sendmail -t") || Error ("Unable to run mail pr
+ogram ");

print MAIL <<EOMH;
To: $to
CC: $cc
From: $from

Name: $name

############more formating code here#########


EOMH

        Close (MAIL);

The last line of the code, Close (MAIL); is the line 112 where the compiler gives me the error.

Thanks for your time.
