Hello...: )
   
  I am having issues sending mail from within a perl
script on an intel 
using the cygwin platform; the code is simply not
sending email or not sending the text in the file.
  CYGWIN_NT-5.1 laptop 1.5.23(0.156/4/2) 2006-12-19
10:52 i686 Cygwin
   
   
  snippet...
   
  qx(/usr/sbin/ssmtp $user < $log);
  system("/usr/sbin/ssmtp $user < $log") or warn
"email did not send 
$!";
  'ssmtp $user < $log`;
  I then tried to just type in the email recipient and
file w/out using 
variables and this did not work.
  I did verify the log and user variables were being
parsed correctly 
via print "[$user]\t"[$log]";
   
  I have tried using qx, system, ` ` and require
calling a file that 
has the ssmtp command in it to no success. I receive
no warnings or 
errors.
  I then tried using MIME::Lite and it does not send
and no errors or 
warnings.
   
  However, the command alone from my cygwin prompt
does send mail after 
configuring ssmtp via /usr/bin/ssmtp-config.
  ssmtp oryann9 AT yahoo DOT com < /cygdrive/c/temp/test.txt
   
   
  Does anyone know what it could be or know of any
known issues with 
this action of having Perl send mail using ssmtp on an
cygwin platform?
   
   
  thank you
