I'm having a problem that I hope someone out there can help me with. I'm 
trying to use a "sendmail" type program called "Windmail" with Perl on
Windows 95. I'm getting a Bad Command error with the first line of the
following code:

open(MAIL,"|windmail -t");
print MAIL "To: salmo004\@tc.umn.edu \n";
print MAIL "From: tsalmon\@cce.umn.edu \n";
print MAIL "Subject: Hello World \n\n";
print MAIL "This is the easiest way to implement WindMail \n";
print MAIL "in a CGI script written in Perl.\n";
# The next line is very important
print MAIL "\n.\n";
close(MAIL);

Can anyone help me with the first line in the above code? Why isn't this
working?

Thanks in advance.
