I can agree to that. Thing is if I don't pass the die statement
the script just continues without any hitch whatsoever but the
mail message never get's delivered. In other words it does fail
to close but it never tells you that.

The close statement is as follows:
    85  close(MAIL) or die "Can't close pipe to $sendmail: $!\n";


As you can see the value of $! is passed on to the browser together
with the message. But unfortunately I can see no value to speak of.
In other words the value must be blank. The strange thing to me is
that it worked 100% on Solaris 2.7. Has any body else tested this
specific perl code on Solaris 2.6? What else could be the difference?

Regards,
Gustav
