Re: [cgiwrap-users] Sending email using perl scripts.

[David D. <dav...@ol...>]

I added the error trapping like you said, but unfortunally it still did 
not work.

open (MAIL, "|$mailprog -t 2>&1") || &Error('Unable to Open Sendmail');

I am going to try a diffrent script and see if the results are the 
same.  I will let you know what happens.

Thanks,
David
