That's a unix-specific way of specifying the current directory.
In pre-Mac OS X perl you'll need to use the

Hi Anette,
you wouldn't have obtained that list of fruit from a Windows box by any
chance? I would guess that the "extra character" is probably a line feed.
Windows machines use "CRLF" (carriage return + line feed) as line separator,

Hi David,
"require" doesn't allow you to use the function without parentheses:
"use strict;" in your script would have thrown a "bareword not allowed"

How long is "so long" (roughly)? Net::SMTP should be useably quick; the

Maybe something like...
