Re: Sendmail

While you could handle opening the pipe to Sendmail yourself, it's better for a bazillion reasons to use a module. And you always can, if you're crafty (and your host is cruel). The easist for you is to cut and paste the entire module into a BEGIN block, and put it inside your script, like so:

#usr/bin/perl -wT

package main;
use strict;

# Your code goes here
# Whatever you need
# To do, using the module

#Might wanna add 
#some blank line for clarity

BEGIN {
    #cut 'n' paste module here
}

..or with the "use" syntax, simply include the local version of the module (that you have copied in as a support file). This tactic does NOT always work however - many perl modules do use C and other compiled portions - these types of modules, of course, will not function by just being copied in, in most cases. However, in Mail::Sendmail, as documented by the author in it's POD, "Only requires Perl 5 and a network connection." - and is a suggested method in PerlDoc's Portable Code page. - so fly free, and enjoy the easy use as a local module. Update: This might help as well - look towards the bottom for the part on "what if i do not have permission to install..." - thanks footpad! G	[reply]

Thank Erik! I never played with modules so I didn't know if it was just plain text or whatnot. I might use your idea and use it within my script. Just have to think about it for a little bit, don't want to do anything my webhost would cancell me for. Their the only webhost I can get for my page, lol. I think I am going to go read on mail::sendmail now, thanks for your help!!! Aaron	[reply]
