It is not a good idea to use Perl scripts on high volume mail servers
(delivering mail through them). You could potentially be firing up the
perl interpreter 10,000 times a day. Think about the load this puts on
your machine. Use a simple shell script instead, the muscle of perl is
not required for this task.
