Lessons learned from my first .pl script: Perl is very powerful, so the need for a staging server or test/confirm cycle is very important. One cannot just dink around with this language and expect mistakes to be ok. Well, you can, but you'd get your account suspended with you hosting provider like I have. Next step is to look around for examples of how to "protect" sendmail from bugs in my own program. After all, it's unrealistic to expect to write bug-free programs.
