mail function problem
Hello all,

I'm attempting to sent an e-mail with the following funtion in my script. The tested that the logic is correct with another native os command, but I can't seem to get mail to work. I played with the "", just can't seem to get it right. Any ideas? Thanks.

$my_mail = `mail -s`;

sub mail {

$my_mail "test" my.name@company.com < /dev/null;

}

       class valarray< _Tp >

Detailed Description
   template<typename _Tp>class std::slice_array< _Tp >
       Reference to one-dimensional subset of an array.

       A slice_array is a reference to the actual elements of an array specified by a slice. The way to get a slice_array is to call
       operator[](slice) on a valarray. The returned slice_array then permits carrying operations out on the referenced subset of elements in the
       original valarray. For example, operator+=(valarray) will add values to the subset of elements in the underlying valarray this slice_array
       refers to.

       Parameters:
	   Tp Element type.
