I've installed ActivePerl on a local server and it works fine. However, I don't know how to get a sendmail program to work. Where can I get one or do I have it allready?
$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
This doesn't lead anywere at least (this is what works with my ISP), well it runs the rest of the script without any errors.
The complete code I used:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>
#!/usr/bin/perl
$name = "whoever";
$email = "whatever";
$recipient = "myname\@domain.com";
$message = "The message";
$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
open (MAIL, "|$mailprog $recipient");
print MAIL "To: $recipient\n";
print MAIL "From: $email\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Feedback\n";
print MAIL "This mail was sent to you by\nby $name (Email: $email)\n";
print MAIL "------------------------------------------------------\n";
print MAIL "$message\n";
print MAIL "------------------------------------------------------\n";
print MAIL "\n";
close (MAIL);
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "Done";</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
The result after executing:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>
Done</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
and of course; no mail in the mailbox.
