So why not just make an alias with all the addresses in it, and have your
perl script send one mail to that alias?
ln -s /home/justin/www/cgi-bin/lovely_people.list
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-listname
Then:
#!/usr/bin/perl
&send_mail_to('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');

From the Jargon File: (v4.0.0, 25 Jul 1996)
finger trouble /n./
Mistyping, typos, or generalized keyboard incompetence (this is
surprisingly common among hackers, given the amount of time they
spend at keyboards). "I keep putting colons at the end of statements
instead of semicolons", "Finger trouble again, eh?".
