[Sussex] Procmail Recipies

[Matthew Macdonald-Wallace]

All, 

I'm trying to automate playing of mp3s via email to see what procmail
can do.

My files look like this:

.procmailrc 

:0
| $FORMAIL -tzxSubject: | /home/auto/play.pl


/home/auto/play.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl

$playlist = <STDIN>;
system("/usr/bin/mplayer $playlist"); 



If I do

auto at localhost auto$ echo chill | ./play.pl

it works fine, and running formail strips the correct subject (chill)
out of my email, but somewhere its not working!

the file "chill" is an m3u playlist without an extension, and works in
both xmms and mplayer.

All help appreciated,

Matt
