Re^5: Error in MIME::Lite?

You can't create a new empty object and add data to it.

Sure you can

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Lite;
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new; ## no data
$msg->build( qw/ to you from me Data Data1 /); ## data
$msg->build( qw/ subject SUBJECT  /)->data('Data2'); ## data
$msg->attach( qw/ Data DATA3 /); ## data
$msg->print;
__END__

Aha! There's the issue: `% diff foo.pl bar.pl 7c7 < $msg->build(subject => 'a message subject')->data('Data2'); --- > $msg->build(subject => 'a message subject'); foo.pl -> 0 bar.pl -> 1` [download] Why is the ->data() required?	[reply] [d/l]

Because its written that way? build returns an object of some kind ... if you dont specify data in constructor, you have to specify it later ... Notice also data1 is disappeared :)	[reply]
