perhaps your script isnt set up to accept the message on standard input.
there is a difference between running the script with a file as the argument
and reading the message from STDIN. what is the error and what does the script
look like/do?

Hi,
I am using $HOME/.procmailrc to execute a script whenever a
mail arrives.
This is the contents of my $HOME/.procmailrc
LOGFILE=procmail.log
VERBOSE=on
:0 bc:
|formail -I "" > bodyfile
:0 hc :
|formail -X From: > headfile
:0 hc:
|formail -X To: >> headfile

|testmail.pl
This script when called on arrival of mail gives a syntax error while
the same script runs perfectly at unix prompt. Can anybody tell me
what the problem is ?
if you told us what the error was, maybe. What's your error log look
like? (And what's the script look like?)
