What seems to be happening is this (Forgive me if I cannot explain it correctly, I am not a programmer by trade.). When I call the subroutine the script runs the subroutine, returns to the line under it and continues. What is happening is when I call the subroutine the script goes to it, but then continues on, then returns from the sub and continues again, running what ever lines are underneath it again. I hope that made sense. Maybe there is a time out on waiting on a sub to complete? Say I have this: 
&mail;
print "Hi!\n";

[download]
I get: 
Hi!
Hi!

[download]
Does that make sense? Sorry if the question is so simple that everyone else on the planet already knows it, I seem to have missed it somewhere. What happened was I had 2 subs, one for a report and one for a copy. the top one causes everything under it to repeat itself thus, duplicating mail.
