Hi Brian,
You should have access to a global $SYSADMIN variable. This variable gets set
to the value of the sysadmin= line in vcld.conf.
Keep in mind, this global variable is a remnant of the code before it was
modularized and before DataStructure.pm was created. It will likely go away
once the following Jira issue slated for 2.2 is complete:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-224
It will be easy to expose it in DataStructure.pm as something like
$self->data->get_sysadmin_email(). I could add this once 2.1 is released. So,
you can use $SYSADMIN for now but I would plan on changing it once it's exposed
via DataStructure.pm.

If you don't care about the message also going to the vcld.log file.
You can call the utils mail routine from any of the other modules.
mail($to,$subject,$mailstring, $from)
$from is optional

As esxthin.pm manages the image library hosted on a NetApp storage
system, the module monitors for important events, and would like to
notify an administrator more pro-actively then logging it as a critical.
Is there a VCL utility function, or existing example code which would be
able to send an e-mail to the VCL administrator?
This code would be a stop-gap until a more formal storage provisioning
architecture is worked out in the future.
Thanks,
Brian
