Over the mountain, to the mod

shirkdog_perl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings fellow monks, A weary travler wishes an audience with the ancient programmers of apache modules, written in the ancient language of PERL. I am really looking for examples of some coding dealing with mail handling. Here at the wonderous Perl Monk site, mod_perl is working well, but the only mailing I have seen is the password recovery feature. Anyway, good luck to all, and thanks in advance for any wisdom that may be passed down.

I am reading through them now. I believe I will find my answer. I will have to fool around with examples and use the modules that were listed. Thanks, I also posted this, then found the CODE examples section. Newbie learning the hard wayLOL	[reply]
