[H-GEN] Email "from"

[Luke Grant]

(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs "Luke Grant" <skywalke at webexpress.net.au>)

hey guys,

I have written an email CGI for this particular customer and he specificaly
wants it in perl so he can update it.

Anyways, i need to be able to get the from:blah at host.blah to be
configurable.
unfortunately i can't work out how to do this in perl.....

i currently have the email being sent in the following format.

>open(MAIL,"somemailfile");
>print MAIL "the email";
>close(MAIL);
>
>open(STDIN, "thesamemailfile");
>system("mail","-s","subject","recipient at host");

of course the reader recieves the email and the "from" line contains
apache at myhost.com

......

anyone?

Luke
