Look at the Writeup formatting tips node and let's see what you have either way.

Here is my code. Like I said, this is my first stabb at something usefull, actually my first time period. The print statement that is printing all of the variables before they are passed to the subroutine is there just so that I could see what was actually being passed on to the sub. The "address.mail" file is a flat, array type file with one entry per line. Here it is:

#!/usr/gnu/bin/perl -w
use Mail::Sender;
$mail = "address.mail"; # flat file passed from another program
        if (-e $mail) {
                open (FILE,$mail);
                @mailf = <FILE>;
                close FILE;

                $addr = $mailf[0]; # assigning mail variables
                $subj = $mailf[1]; # in the order that they
                $from = $mailf[2]; # are in the file
                $body = $mailf[3];
                $attach = $mailf[4];
                print "$addr\n $subj\n $from\n $body\n $attach\n";
                sender_mail($addr,$subj,$body,$attach);
        }
}


sub sender_mail {
        ref ($sender = new Mail::Sender ({
                from => '$addr', smtp => 'my.mailhub.com'})) # have to
+ be carfull with the hostname.
                 || die "Mail::Sender::Error, $!";
                (ref ($sender->MailFile(
                {to =>"$addr", subject =>"$subj", msg =>"$body", file 
+=> "$attach"})))
}

You should put <code> tags around it. Anyway, you're reading the file into @mailf, but each of the lines have newlines at the end. Including your filename. Instead, you may want to do this:

open(FILE, $mail);
@mailf = map { chomp; $_ } <FILE>;
close(FILE);
# now process $mail[n]

update: fixed map. Actually you could just go:

@mailf = <FILE>;
chomp(@mailf);
