Calling PHP email program from a Perl Script

[rahulthathoo]

Hi,

After i finish some amount of computation using a perl script, i need
to send out an email to a receipient which can change and is known to
the Perl script. Is there a way to call the email.php(the php program
to send out the email) passing to it the recipient email ID, from the
perl script?

In Perl:

system("php email.php 'foo@example.co m'");

In PHP:

<?php
$recip = $_SERVER['argv'][1];
if (!isset($recip) )
$recip = 'default-address@example .com';
?>
