text html from file to a scalar and mail

HI Folk,
May I introduce myself, John Plumridge, London, UK.
- I'm still in awe of this whole creation we're in.
Nice to meet you.
I have a reason of course, for approaching you, via my MTNews 'console'.
What a great application!
MY problem is obtaining and passing text/html from file to a scalar
variable to be printed to mail, (using MIME::Creator).
Unfortunately I get: 'printFile(FileHandle=GLOB(0x84b66b8))'
The reference assigned to the scalar variable is from a FileHandle sub
routine. However, with a similar reference to sub routines, i.e.
OrderFromForm_html(), I get the output printed to mail without a
problem. That sub routine is perl processed form data passed from a
preceding visible page in browser - 'form.html')
With mixed success then, I'v worked hard at this. Take a look:
###----signature (html)from external file----###
my $signature_file = "/path_to/signature.html";
use FileHandle;
my $signature = new FileHandle;
$signature->open("<$signature_file")or die "Could not open
file\n";
sub printFile($) {
my $fileHandle = $_[0];
while (<$fileHandle>) {
my $line = $_;
chomp($line);
print "$line\n";
$fileHandle->close(); # automatically closes file
}
}
#---Assemble/concatenate references in both ascii and html, to make full
confirmatory message bodies with order details---
$scalar_sig = "\printFile($signature)";
my $customer_msg_html = $customer_msgStart_html . OrderFromForm_html()
. $customer_msgEnd_html . $scalar_sig;
#---- Create Message ---
Email::MIME->create(
attributes => {
content_type => "text/html",
charset => "UTF-8",
encoding => "quoted-printable",
format => "flowed",
},
body => $customer_msg_html,
),
################
So, as I suggested, the message arrives with the body message all nicely
concatenated , except for the $scalar_sig variable, which is moissing:
and I have the 'printFile(FileHandle=GLOB(0x84b66b8))' as a nice fat
error.
I would really appreciate your help, and outright suggestions, as I have
struggled with is and tests for three days now, (but I have got a lot of
the work done (: - though this problem has me stumped)!
John P.
