CGI Mail Script

Hello,
I've created a mail script, but I can't figure out how to put my $email variable into the FROM field of the email. This is the code I have now:

open (MAIL, "|$mailprog -t") or &dienice("Can't access $mailprog!n");

print MAIL "To: $recipientn";

print MAIL "From: $emailn";

I know it's probably a simple fix, and I appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Jamie

How do you get $email? If it's predefined in your script like this:

$email = "whoopnstik@aol.com";
Then you need to escape the @ char like so:

$email = "whoopnstik@aol.com";

With single quotes, you don't need to.
$email = 'whoopnstik@aol.com';
