in reply to perl module Sendmail location

Mail::Sendmail doesn't interact with or require a command line sendmail program. It uses SMTP. The documentation shows how to configure it.

Update::

" I installed Sendmail..."

Do you mean to say you installed the perl module Mail:Sendmail, not Sendmail?

    Did not "install" Mail::Sendmail. I copied Sendmail to local dir (below). Got it working: Changed name to sendMail and function call to SendMail.

    use lib qw(/home/bondocom/public_html/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/lib/perl/);

    use Mail::sendMail;

    Works fine. Now to get encryption "working fine". Using free certs from Comodo.

      I know the feeling :) This isn't intended to be a criticism, but based on following a few of your threads, you seem to be making life unnecessarily difficult for yourself at times. I don't know the exact constraints of your setup, however check out local::lib, cpanm and local::lib would let you install & maintain modules from cpan to a local directory, while being quick and easy to use.

        Thanks for suggestion

        I took a peek

        My solution took 10 minutes and was a one time shot

        There is always a workaround for everything. Just have to find it

        I will keep the suggestion at hand in case I run into more similar problems

        Best regards
