Re: Email::Sender does not work and I don't know where to start figuring it out

"This code doesn't work, and the module's documentation isn't exactly enlightening."

Your question isn't exactly enlightening either.

Pray tell us, what does "doesn't work" mean? When you run it, does it cause your house to burn down? Does it cause a pain in your left knee? Did your puppy die? Do you get an unpleasant metallic taste in your mouth? Or just an eerie feeling you can't quite explain to anybody?

I'm sure it doesn't produce an error message, does it? Because if it produced an error message, you would have quoted the error message in your original question, right?

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

My apologies. Your criticism is apt. Question has been edited with details.	[reply]

Have you read the manual? In particular: Email::Sender::Simple tries to make a good guess about how to send the message. It will usually try to use the sendmail program on unix-like systems and to use SMTP on Windows. Are you on a Unix-like system? If so, do you have a program called `sendmail` available? If so, is it correctly configured to send mail? Can you send mail using it from the command line? Otherwise, is Email::Sender::Simple falling back to using SMTP? If so, have you set the correct environment variables so that it can find your SMTP server? If the SMTP server is under your control, have you checked the logs to see if it's getting that far? If the SMTP server is not under your control, have you tried setting up your own SMTP server temporarily for testing this? `use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l]

I have resolved the issue. This was achieved simpling by adding `use Email::Sender::Transport::Sendmail;` to the beginning of the script. The documentation made me believe that this was optional (possibly on a different system it would be, but evidently Email::Sender was having trouble figuring out a default way to send mail on my system, for whatever reason). Still not sure about the root causes, but happy that it's working :) To briefly answer your questions: yes, sendmail was installed and functioning correctly. I was not planning to use an SMTP server.
