Is it possible another function or script is doing something like:
$\ = 0;
It seems to fit the symptoms. If you can locate the code, slap a
"local" in front of the assignment and things should work properly.
To test if that's the problem, add "local $\ = undef" right before
your code. If that fixes it, you know that it's this pesky variable.
For more info on $\ and friends, check "man perlvar" for far more than
you ever wanted to know about Awk compatibility ;)
A minor note -- have you considered a module for your SMTP code
instead of hard-coding it? Net::SMTP should work. It handles all the
pesky RFC details as well. Plus chances are it'll end up being more
portable in the long run.
