Re: adding multiple attachments to email

Parameters of MailFile method are constructed from a hash, which is a "unique key" -> "some value" map. There can be only one "file" key. Fortunately, Mail::Sender's MailFile method allows you to specify an array of file names to attach:

The file parameter may be a "filename", a "list, of, file, names" or a \@list_of_file_names.

Try this:

     $sender->MailFile({to => $email_recipient, 
        subject => $email_subject, 
        file => [ $outfile, $file1 ],
        msg => $email_body});

Thank you Aitap for your help, I have updated the code however I recieve the following error: syntax error at test_email.pl line 503, near "msg" this is the code i have used : `send_email(); sub send_email { my $sender=new Mail::Sender({from =>$email_sender, fake_from =>$email_sender,smtp => 'mail.test.com'}); $sender->MailFile({to => $email_recipient, subject => $email_subject, file=> [ $outfile, $file1 ] msg => $email_body}); }` [download] edit - i added a comma after the `file=> [ $outfile, $file1 ],` and the syntax error is not showing anymore, however I'm not receiving any emails either ?!

Sorry for the comma - I edited my message shortly after posting it and noticing the comma's absence. Try adding 'debug' parameter to the constructor to debug your messages.	[reply]
