The homeboys have covered the basic bases....
but what you will probably want to do is get out of
that approach to solving the problem to begin with.
since you 'should' have been trying say
$rc = system("mailx -s $subject $mailAddress < $FILENAME);
saves on the pipe and spare process...
{ don't you just HATE old BSD freaks.... }
But fortunately you also things like
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/email/
where you can start to peek at other ways around that
which would be more native to perl to begin with.
One of the problems that you will find is that it really
is NOT likely to be able to do any heavy sense of certainty
about this even with 'sendmail' games directly
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/Sys/howToSendEmail.txt
since what you have is a dialog with a daemon that will be
working asynchronously with other daemons - and a whole
BUNCH of other issues.
