if you really want to 'catch' that, then you
clearly want to look at
Net::SMTP
and/or the MailTools distribution...
in the above popen() construction, you are doing this to
'write' to the process, and would need to get into either
a) the back-tick trick
my $answer = `/usr/lib/sendmail ...... `;
b) push the info into a file you will read later
my $tmp_file = "/tmp/somefile.$$";
open (MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t -v > $tmp_file 2>&1 ")
or die .....
close(MAIL);
open(TMPF, $tmp_file )
or die ......
