wtf???  Where the heck is die printing, anyway?  And why doesn't this
work like (I think) it should?:

============================================================
#! /usr/bin/perl -w

open STDOUT,   "> foo.out.txt"
        or die "Couldn't open outfile!!!: $!\n"; # not sure where this goes <g>
open STDERR,   "> foo.err.txt"
        or die "Couldn't open errfile!!!: $!\n"; # not sure where this goes <g>

open SENDMAIL, "| /usr/LIB/sendmail -t"
        or die "AAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!: $!\n"; # respects to Sparky Schulz

print SENDMAIL "I have a dream!\n" # Respects to the Reverend
        or die "It turned out to be a nightmare...: $!\n";

close SENDMAIL;
============================================================

in fact, anyone who has played role-playing games knows that God
probably had to roll quite a few dice to come up with a character like
Einstein.  -- Larry Wall                                     C. Abney
