Doubt: Isn't send_email($output) in this situation still going to happen? I mean, even of there is not output on "myperlscript.pl 2>&1", $output is going to be set, meaning the validation (send_email if $output) will be true. Shouldn't this be set to something like: send_email($output) if $output ne ''; Or how can this be handled on a more elegant manner?
