FLASH: Flash -> perl mailproblem

[Paul Koch]

Maybe a bit OT but here it comes.


I have a flash movie with a form:


On (Release)

      Load Variables ("http://www.company.nl/cgi-bin/verstuur.pl", 0, vars=GET)

End On



Perl script:


#!/usr/local/bin/perl


print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

$mailprog="/usr/sbin/sendmail";

@referers = ('www.company.com'); 

$in=<STDIN>;

@delen = split(/&/,$in);

open(MAIL,"|$mailprog");

print MAIL "To: info\@interpaul.nl\n";

print MAIL "From: paul\@interpaul.nl\n";

print MAIL "Subject: subject from company\n \n\n\n";


foreach $waarde (@delen) { print MAIL "$waarde\n";

}close(MAIL);


print "<B> Mail verstuurd </B>";



# method=post



I get to following error:

What is going on? I've asked the location of the mailprog from the ISP, so this should be the problem...


Any solutions?
