It's either Perl (the language) or perl (the interpreter), there is
no such thing as PERL.

Use one of the many modules available from CPAN for sending email.
MIME::Lite, Mail::Sender, Mail::Mailer, Mail::Sendmail, ... to name
just a few. It's possible that some of them are already installed.

If you
use strict;
you get an error that will make it clear that perl though you want to
insert the contents of array @mydomain into the doublequoted string.
You have to escape $ and @ in doublequoted strings, otherwise you do
not get theliteral $ or @ but the contents of some variable. Or an
error if you use strict and the variable was not declared.
