in reply to Opinions solicited: best internet mail module?

This may not be the 'cleanest' solution, but you can load it into a private directory of yours and use it in your code with the full path. Look at:

Hope that helps...

    ++tjh, ++trs80 for the tips on loading a pure-perl module into my own directory on the server, even though I already knew how to do that :-)

    But what I was really hoping for was some user-feedback or experiential suggestions about which mail modules were the slickest to use. Like I said, I have used MIME::Entity which has the best OO interface of all the modules I've looked at, but which throws a bunch of non-fatal warnings about dependencies on Date::Format (I guess for some reason my provider doesn't have that module loaded).

    Maybe I should have submitted this to the Meditations section?

      MIME::Lite gets a lot of airtime. Checked it out?

        Yes, actually it was my first choice when I first was looking at mailers, way back over a year ago (before I knew how to load the module into my own directory :^)

        And you are right, it does have what I would call a nice interface - it's actually very similar to the MIME::Entity module.

        Sigh - too bad my provider doesn't just have it installed already. I guess I will grab a copy of it and upload it for testing.

        Thanks all!
