I've now worked out that to call the perl file i need to use the line
"| /home/me/Documents/webtest/mail/strip.pl < $1"
in the `.forward` file.
I have also found the missing e-mails - they were in the root mail box.
in the mail i have
--- The Following addresses had permanet fatal errors ----
"| /home/me/Documents/webtest/mail/strip.pl < $1"
(reason : service unavailble)
(expanded from : <me@localhost.localdomain>)
---- Transcript of session follows ----
451 4.0.0 hash map "generics": missing map file /etc/mail/genericstabl
+e.db: No such file or directory
smrsh : strip.pl not avalible for sendmail programs
554 5.0.0 Servive Unavalible
[Snip message headers, body and attachments]
How do i create "genericstable.db" and allow strip.pl to be avalible for sendmail programs?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
