Works in one server but not another	Can't Post

This worked on one server with no problems! It simply gave me a message saying Mail server was down when "sendmail" was not available. Now when I switch the same script to another server it no longer calls this subroutine and wont work. Both servers are Solaris 7. The rest of my subroutines in the script work but not the subroutine listed below. Any suggestions??

Code

use CGI qw(:standard); 
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);  
 
  sub mailFatal 
  { 
     print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 
     print "<html><head><title>Mail</title></head>\n"; 
     print "<body bgcolor=\"white\">\n"; 
   print "<center><strong><h2><font color=red>Mail Server is not availab 
  +le 
  at this time.</font></h2 
  ></strong></center>\n"; 
   print "<br><br><center>Email down</center>"; 
        print "</body></html>\n"; 
  exit; 
  } 
 
  open (MAIL,"|$sendmail") || mailFatal(); 
  #sendmail stuff here 
  close MAIL || mailFatal();

See if these are installed properly:

use CGI
use CGI::Carp

That's where I would start.

On Solaris 7 How would I check to see if "CGI::Carp" was installed properly? Also the CGI part of my script works (such as the "param" function) because my email script does send data and does check for required fields.
