Basic variable question - Thanks in advance.

[mstelmac]

Hello everyone. I am having one heck of a time doing something very simple in perl. I am trying to set a variable (named $test) to this value:
"email.address1\@yahoo.com", "email.address2\@yahoo.com"

Then I am using the variable as part of this SMTP call:
$smtp->to($test);

Here is my code but it does not:

my $test = "\"matthew.purdy\@lmco.com\", \"matthew.purdy\@lmco.com\"";
$smtp->to($test);

Can anyone un-confuse me??????

thanks,
Matt

If you're using the Net::SMTP module then I believe the to and recipient methods actually accept an array, not a scalar list.

[blue]$smtp[/blue]->[maroon]to[/maroon][red]([/red][blue]@to[/blue], [red]{[/red][purple]SkipBad[/purple] => [fuchsia]1[/fuchsia][red]}[/red][red])[/red][red];[/red]
