Foist - the email side of the game...
you're starting to move into the correct direction -
the question now is -
a) if you have direct access to sendmail on your host
then you can always do the standard push through sendmail
eg:
my $sendmail = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
my $userName = ....
my $subject = .....
my $msg = ....
open (MAIL, "| $sendmail -t -oi 2>$bailFile")
or die "unable to open sendmail:$!\n";
print MAIL "To: $userName \n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
print MAIL "$msg";
close MAIL or die "Failure with sendmail :$? $!\n";
b) go with the Mail::Mailer from the CPAN
a basic frame work would be at:
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/Other/email/useMailMailer.txt
but most likely I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND:
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=dist&query=Mailtool
Way Much More Better in the long run.
Secondly - that 'pager' - have you thought about getting
a 'webPager' server - where you just send them an email
and they will page the player? Much simpler - since
you can stuff it all in one email message....
