I was wondering if it was possible to test your perl scripts that contain emailing people in it on your local computer. Is there something I have to download, or do I have to change the "¦/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" command. I do realize that this command is for the internet and it will not work on a local computer. I was just wondering if there was a place I needed to point to that comes with the perl download or if there is something else I have to download. Maybe it isn't even possible. I sure hope that it is though. Thanks in advance!

P.S. If there is a place I need to go to download what I need, please tell me that too. That would be very helpful!

hi,

The easiest way to test your unix scripts would be to download Cygwin (www.cygwin.com/setup.exe) which is a linux emulation.

You can test your scripts there without having to install linux on your machine.

Hope that helps
