Define multiple mail recipents in a variable in perl
hi

I have a perl script from which I call a shell script and pass mail variable to it.
The mail works fine if I give 1 recipient but fails for multiple.

conv.pl:-
Code:
$mialing = "anu\@abc.com"
rest.sh   $mialing

rest.sh
Code:
mail -s "hi" $1

This works fine

But I need to define multiple recipents in mailing variable.
like

Code:
$mialing = "anu\@abc.com anu2\@abc.com anu3\@abc.com"

space does not work.
Please help how to define this

Thanks
