Subject: Sending Mail


Hi,
 I'm new to Perl and am trying to write some cgi
programs in Perl.
Currently I'm developing a tool in which , when a user
submits a form,
the input  entered by him should be mailed to the
address he specifies
in one of teh input fileds.!  Does anybody have some
sample scripts
which does soemthing similar to this? or can anybody
give me some bare
bone structure of how I should accomplish this?
Thanks for the help
Bhanu.

Subject: help with html


This question probably belongs in the cgi list, but here goes...
I know that this is going to sound bad, but I want to send an html
document via email to people that have blocked html (I am doing a form
for an insurance broker, and it goes to the insurance companies that
they deal with.  The insurance companies have blocks on html) is there
any way around this problem (other than calling each insurance company
and getting them to change their settings, this is a problem as some of
them are controlled by a 'head office' arrangement).  The main thing
that I want this for is the ability to set the subject line of a reply,
so if anyone knows how to do this another way that would work also,
   thanks for your time,
Chris.

Subject: .dat files


Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to actually
reading/modifying/making the infamous .dat files that are spread all
over
the Win32 file system?

I would like to see what is in them, and maybe edit if I choose, and
wonder
if there is a module out there for doing this?

Anyone?

(and thanks in advance)

Subject: undefined variable


Please accept my apologies for being so dumb. I am a beginner and really
have done basic perl scripting by using the "copy and paste and modify"
method of script writing.

I have a server running Solaris 8. From what I can determine, perl is
version 4 on it (perl -v). Server came preinstalled with proprietary
software for managing ads in our production dept.

I have a newly created directory that contains links to what will soon
be
thousands of files. The number of links in this directory will grow
daily.

I am trying to write a simple perl script that can be automatically run
by a
cron  that will delete these links after 3 days. I "borrowed" a script
that
runs successfully on a Linux server here and does exactly the same
thing.

Could someone look at this script and tell me where to begin debugging
it.
when i run it in a command window, i get a server error "dir_prefix is
not
defined".

#!/usr/bin/perl


$dir_prefix="/directoryoffroot/debbietest";

opendir(fotodir,$dir_prefix);
@directory=grep(!/^\./, readdir(fotodir));

open(rep_fil,">/fotorep.txt");

print rep_fil "  The following files deleted because they were
1 days old...\n\n";

foreach $dir_entry (@directory)
{
   $file_name=$dir_prefix."/".$dir_entry;
   $file_days=(-M $file_name);
   if ($file_days>1)
   {
  system("rm -f -r \"$file_name\"");
  print rep_fil "$file_name\n";
   }
}
print rep_fil "\n***END OF REPORT***";
close(rep_fil);

$sj="-s \"Kill the links\"";
system("mail $sj root\@whatever.com < /fotorep.txt");
