Send email from perl script	Can't Post

I am adding email function to a script but cannot get the body of the message to work. NOTE: Everything else works except for the body.
Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Code

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"); 
 
## Mail Header 
print MAIL "To: $to\n"; 
print MAIL "From: $from\n"; 
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n"; 
 
## Mail Body 
print MAIL "this is the body of the message"; 
 
close(MAIL); 
Code  
 
Thanks!

You need a blank line between the headers and the body.

change:

Code

print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n";

To:

Code

print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
