modifying perl script

Hi freinds
I have a small problem I want u to help me in, I have a syslog server and configured it to send me email automatically, I get a small perl script to help me in, and tested it to send alerts to root and it worked successfully without any problems
Now I want to send it outside, I configured my sendmail to use my email server as SMARTHOST , and tested it by sending email like the following and it delevered successfuly
mail -s test reaky@domain.com -- -r reaky@server.com

Now I tried to use my perl script to use to out side reaky@domain.com, but It doesn't work, the perl script using sendmail -t instead of mail, So what I want to do is modifying this script to use the command: mail -s test reaky@domain.com -- -r reaky@server.com when sending the message

the following is the perl script:
=================================
#!/usr/bin/perl -n
# thanks to Brian Dowling for an example with security in mind.

$TO = 'bassam@tedata.net';
$FROM = $TO;

s/^<\d{1,2}>//;

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");

print MAIL <<"EOT";
To: $TO
From: $FROM
Subject: SME Log Alert: $_

$_

EOT

close(MAIL);
======================================

Thanks for help

I think we can use something like that
==============
#! /bin/sh
SUBJECT=�SET-EMAIL-SUBJECT�
EMAIL=�mymail@ad.dy�
EMAILMESSAGE=�pathtofile�

echo �This is an email message test� > $EMAILMESSAGE
echo �This is email text� >> $EMAILMESSAGE

/bin/mail -s �$SUBJECT� �$EMAIL�
================
But How to modify EMAILMESSAGE=�pathtofile� , to be input to the script

rt-email-dashboards(8)					     Request Tracker Reference					    rt-email-dashboards(8)

NAME

       rt-email-dashboards - Send email dashboards

SYNOPSIS

	   rt-email-dashboards [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This tool will send users email based on how they have subscribed to dashboards. A dashboard is a set of saved searches, the subscription
       controls how often that dashboard is sent and how it's displayed.

       Each subscription has an hour, and possibly day of week or day of month. These are taken to be in the user's timezone if available, UTC
       otherwise.

SETUP

       You'll need to have cron run this script every hour. Here's an example crontab entry to do this.

	   0 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /opt/rt4/local/sbin/rt-email-dashboards

       This will run the script every hour on the hour. This may need some further tweaking to be run as the correct user.

OPTIONS

       This tool supports a few options. Most are for debugging.

       -h
       --help  Display this documentation

       --dryrun
	       Figure out which dashboards would be sent, but don't actually generate or email any of them

       --time SECONDS
	       Instead of using the current time to figure out which dashboards should be sent, use SECONDS (usually since midnight Jan 1st, 1970,
	       so 1192216018 would be Oct 12 19:06:58 GMT 2007).

       --epoch SECONDS
	       Back-compat for --time SECONDS.

       --all   Ignore subscription frequency when considering each dashboard (should only be used with --dryrun for testing and debugging)
