Ok, I finnaly got the cron aspect of the site of the day script working.. however I would like to make a modification to it.. when it runs I would it to use sendmail and send the person a E-mail letting them know their site is being listed as site of day.. any ideas how to do this.. basicly I need it to go in and read the contact e-mail and contact name.. store those in a varible and then send a E-mail out.. like

Dear $CONTACTNAME,

Your Resource $RESOURCENAME is being listed as the Resource of the Day!

Add to sotd.pl...

Code:
$mail_program="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";

and near the end of sub main...

Code:
open (MAIL, "|$mail_program") 
  print MAIL "To: $rec{'Contact Email'}\n"; 
  print MAIL "From: youraddress@domain.com\n"; 
  print MAIL "Subject: Your Site has been honored...\n"; 
  print MAIL " 
  $rec{'Contact Name'}, 

Your Resource $rec{Title} is being listed as the Resource of the Day! 

Regards, 

You 
"; 
close(MAIL);

Haven't tested this, but it should work (at least on a Unix system).
