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....
