Need Help??

in reply to How to sendmail using Perl in WindowXP

The easier way, and way that I use on my systems, is with Net::SMTP if you have a SMTP server on you enviroment. The other way is to use OLE to talk with Outlook or any other email client, but this is the hard way, very hard :)

For a higher-level abstraction, also consider Email::Send.

From the synopsis:

  use Email::Send;

  my $message = <<'__MESSAGE__';
  To: recipient@example.com
  From: sender@example.com
  Subject: Hello there folks
  
  How are you? Enjoy!
  __MESSAGE__

  my $sender = Email::Send->new({mailer => 'SMTP'});
  $sender->mailer_args([Host => 'smtp.example.com']);
  $sender->send($message);
