I am under the impression that a scalar can be as big as you need. I
*suspect* that the problem lies in limitations on the size of an <<EOF
document - but someone more knowledgable will have to answer that
part.

A comma-seperated list, or Cc: - -
To: addr\@host.com, addr2\@host2.org
Cc: rdda\@toast.com

I believe the 'canonical' way is:
open(INPUT, '$reportdir/$eachowner.txt') or die "Danger! $!";

while (<INPUT>) {

This way, no more than one line of <INPUT> is in memory at one time.
