Need help with Perl

[Siten0308]

Hello,

I need some assistance, just a question really. I see this line in my coding:

#print SENDMAIL "To: employment\@rrmca.com\n";
pirnt SENDMAIL "To: retroesh\@gmail.com\n"; #test to see #if it can send to gmail

2 questions pop in my head that I need you assistance. One of the questions is, when I see the line:
#print SENDMAIL "To: employment\@rrmca.com\n";
The # sign, does that mean it’s a comment or does that mean it’s a start of a execute or a pointer? Or is it just a commented out, because we want it to send it to employment@rrmca.com which is an email. Then I look at the email that it shows, however its input within the code as “To:employment\@rrmca.com\n”;
I do know that the \n means end line, which is a common c++ ending line, however it’s the email that it shows it as employment\@rrmca.com which puzzles me, is that correct, or does it need to be “To:employment@rrmca.com\n”; ??

I thank you for taking this time to reading my email, if you can get back to me either email or post it. also if you guys want to see the perl script, i can email it to you, just post your email.

Thank you

Steven B

the "#" is a comment introducer and terminator so what seems to be happening is the first line is commented out so the second line will execute. that way, if the user wants the first line to run and not the second, they just move the comment. It is much easier than deleting a line and then retyping it later when it's wanted.

thanks for the info, but now i still have the problem of the script not sending the email to employment@rrmca.com, i have deleted the # which commented it out, how about the \ between employment and @rrmca.com? should i delete that as well?? also, if you want to see the entire script, please give your email and i will email it to you, maybe there is something in the script that i am doing wrong, or maybe something wrong with the html, which i can email you that as well, there are a total of 2 htmls.

I really can't be of much help as far as that goes. I don't know much about Perl so I honestly can't help with a whole lot.

I do not know much about perl at all, but if you can define variables and use them then do this:

emailvariable = 'employment@rrmca.com';



That is PHP format but single quotes display literal statements in most languages.

there u go hes correct. u can only use the \ when u have "" double quotes otherwise u should be able to just use @ with single quotes.
