    Chomp not working properly with Sendmail

    I am writing a program for a study I am doing where I must contact several
    different organisations stored in a database I compiled, but I need to send
    each email one at a time so they don't know who else I sent to.

    I tested my sendmail and it works well, but I am having a problem with chomp
    in the case I am using it. When getting $email, if I do not say $email\n,
    nothing will be displayed to the command prompt. This leads me to believe
    that sendmail is also receiving nothing in the To field as its displaying no
    recipient has been specified, though it also displays that if you put data
    in that it doesn't understand, such as $email with a \n.

    Finally, it will always send the last record, the last record in the file
    works fine, the rest are the ones that are not understandable.

    Any help is appreciated, thank you.

    The code is show bellow.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use SendMail;

    my $message = "message"

    open (FILENO, "emails.txt ");
    my @file = <FILENO>;
    close (FILENO);

    foreach $email (@file){

    $sm = new SendMail("mails erver");
    $sm->setDebug($sm->ON);
    $sm->From("me\@me.c om");
    $sm->Subject("Heade r");
    chomp $email;
    print "$email\n";
    $sm->To("$email") ;
    $sm->setMailBody("$ message");
    #
    # Check if the mail sent successfully or not.
    #
    if ($sm->sendMail() != 0) {
    print $sm->{'error'}."\n" ;
    }
    print "Done\n";
    }
    exit 0;


Working...
