-- that's the SMTP port. If you're trying to do mail programming, you
should probably use one of the mail related modules.
Either way, you should NOT do this by a series of system() calls.

If you're trying to work with Gmail, maybe this is what you need:
<http://cpan.org/modules/by-module/Mail/Mail-Webmail-Gmail-1.00.readme>
What are you really trying to do here? So far, you've chosen a very
peculiar path to get ...somewhere... but I'm not clear on what you're
actually trying to get done. Maybe if that were clearer it would be
possible to make some more constructive suggestions...
