ok this is problem going to be real easy for one of you PERL gurus but my little brain just can't figure it out. From the command line (Solaris 9) I can do this fine:

echo my little test | mailx -s "Test Message" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But in PERL the below code does not work:

system("echo my little test | mailx -s \"Test Message\" [EMAIL PROTECTED]");

even if I just do:

system("mailx [EMAIL PROTECTED]");

it does not send the email

Now I know that mailx works perfectly fine from the command line. I am also able to do other system commands from PERL perfectly fine. Also I know that many of you gurus might suggest I do it a different way because of security issues or what not but I would really like to find out why this particular system command is not working from PERL.

Sincerely

Elliot
