Hi Bob, You gave me the following answer earlier:
sub foo { local @ARGV = @_; GetOptions(...blah...); ... } If I run it as a seperate script, commenting out the (local @ARGV = @_;) line, then it works. But it does not work when called as a subroutine from within the main script. I have also tried (my @ARGV = @_;). Any idea why? Here is my code now: ================================================= # Notify recipients via SMTP (email) # Usage: notify_email -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "Subject line" -b "Message body" sub notify_email { local @ARGV = @_; # Get the sub's params into the master param array for GetOpt::Long $ENV{"NTsendmail"} = $conf{'smtp'}; $sender = $conf{'smtpsender'}; GetOptions ("r=s" => [EMAIL PROTECTED], # -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] "s=s" => [EMAIL PROTECTED], # -s "This is the subject line..." "b=s" => [EMAIL PROTECTED]); # -b "This is the message body..." $subject = join(" ", @subject); $body = join(" ", @body); foreach $recipient (@recipients) { print "$sender, $recipient, $subject, $body\n"; $mail = new NTsendmail; $mail->send($sender, $recipient, $subject, $body); } } ================================================= __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Standard Bank Disclaimer and Confidentiality Note This e-mail, its attachments and any rights attaching hereto are, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the property of Standard Bank Group Limited and/or its subsidiaries ("the Group").
