Well, I do this to send out birthday wishes to everyone in my
department, with Cc's to everyone else:
bday.tmpl:
From: <dept_address>
To: <tmpl_loop birthday_kids><tmpl_var address><tmpl_unless __LAST__>,
</tmpl_unless></tmpl_loop>
Bcc: <tmpl_loop all_kids><tmpl_var address><tmpl_unless __LAST__>,
</tmpl_unless></tmpl_loop>
Subject: Happy birthday <tmpl_loop birthday_kids><tmpl_var name><tmpl_unless
__LAST__>, </tmpl_unless></tmpl_loop>
Body of the message here....
bday.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use HTML::Template;
my $t = new HTML::Template(filename=>'bday.tmpl', loop_context_vars=>1);
# set vars here
open MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" or die "$!";
print MAIL $t->output();
close MAIL or warn "$!";
__END__
Don't forget the tabs on the line after To and Bcc or sendmail will
think that it's the end of that particular header line.
