You didn't describe what your problem was. What happens? What's the error? It will help if you add
use warnings; use strict;
to the start of your code. This will enable warnings and force you to declare your variables, which greatly aids in catching mistakes.

Now, on the topic of your code: You're trying to send an email with one very long list of recipients. It's possible your email server will not honor this. You may want to try sending one email/address, like so (code UNTESTED):
use strict; use warnings; # Define constants my $address_file = "email.txt"; my $message_text = "message.txt"; my $from_addr = "anywhere@home.com"; my $mailhost = "localhost"; # Always check to see if file opened or not open(MSG, "$message_text") || die "Could not open $message_text! $!\n" +; my $subject; my $body; LINE: while(<MSG>) { if /^subject:(.*)/ { $subject = $1 and next LINE}; $body .= $_; } close(MSG); open(LIST, "$address_file") || die "Could not open $address_file! $!\n +"; # Send an email for each address in the file # Note we're not doing any validation on addresses while(<LIST>) { chomp; my $sender = Net::SMTP->new("$localhost"); $sender->mail("$from_addr"); $sender->to("$_"); $sender->data(); $sender->datasend ("From: Home\n"); $sender->datasend ("Subject: $subject\n\n"); $sender->datasend ("$body\n"); $sender->dataend(); $sender->quit(); } close(LIST);
Hope this helps. Cheers,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
