On page 23 of Learning Perl, there are commands to mail a message out.
I have tried to manually send myself a message with mail and it works.
The program does not work. I'm not sure why. Here is the code:
open(MAIL, "mail EMAIL_ADDRESS_HERE");
print MAIL "bad news: $somename guessed $someguess\n";
close (MAIL);
I used my own ID for the email address. I'm testing this on a
standalone Linux box here at home. Like I said, doing mail from the
command prompt to send myself a test messge worked.
