Sure. Here's what I did:
1. Store the user's account name in $username
2. Store the email in $email
3:
# send email using rmail
# By calling open on the magic character sequence |-, you fork a copy
# of Perl and open a pipe to the copy. The child copy then immediately
# exec's another program using the argument list variant of exec().
open(RMAIL,"|-") || exec "/usr/bin/rmail", "$username\@umdnj.edu";
print RMAIL $email,"\n";
close RMAIL;

Our "useradd" is actually a perl script that dose
everything we want it to do *and* runs the
originally useradd....well it use to. Actually it
is all been replaced with the perl script.
