if the script is right then there must be a problem with the mailing prgm..u havent specified whether u r using the MAIL or SENDMAIL prgm...find below sample code using the MAIL prgm....if u find it usefull....i can help u out further.

invoke this package in the perl prgm where you collect the script variables and pass them to the subroutine.
-----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl;
package mailer;

sub mailthis
{
my($sub) = $_[0];
my($body)= $_[1];
my($add) = $_[2];
my($cc)= $_[3];

$add = "yourname\@yoursite.com";
$cc = "ccname\@yoursite.com";

my($mail) = "mail -t -s \"$sub\" $cc $add";

open (MAIL,"|$mail") | | die("cannot fork mail");
print MAIL $body, "\n";
close MAIL;
}
1
;
-----------------------------------------

checking the return value of an open is usually a good idea.
