Dan,
Greetings,
This is a bit off topic, but I'll bet someone on this list knows the answer.
I'm having some trouble getting sendmail.exe to close during a perl cgi
script.
I put debug lines in a simple script reperinted at the bottom of this
letter, to track progress.
It tells me that I am successfully connecting to sendmail and gets all
the way to
"printed line 5 to send mail<br>\n"
and then chokes and the browser hangs.
The close(SENDMAIL) line of the script is not executing correctly, the
sendmail process doesn't end, and the mail never gets sent. Since i have an
or die on the open and close lines, with a fatalstoBrowser from good old
cgi:Carp so I can see a failure, I assume my open worked correctly.
I've never seen the close() command in any kind of complexity...it's so
simple and I'm boggled as to why it doesn't work.
A direct cc to both addresses would be a huge help.
