Send a mail using MIME::Lite

Zitoune has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Here's my code :

use MIME::Lite
$msg = new MIME::Lite
From=>'email1@hotmail.com',
To=>'email2@hotmail.com',
Subject=>'SUBJECT OF MESSAGE',
Type=>'TEXT',
Data=>"THIS IS THE MESSAGE";
$msg->send("SMTP");
[download]

I always have this error: "The system cannot find the path specified"
Is there something i have to specified because i'm under Win2000 and we use exchange Server where i'm working. I'm pretty confuse about it.
Thanks for your help

You have quite a lot of errors in your code. in fact you probably did not get this code from the program you are running. Something like this seems to work: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w # note: -w use strict; # note: strictness use MIME::Lite; # note: ends with ; my $msg = MIME::Lite->new( # note: ->new( From=>'some@email', To=>'some@email', Subject=>'SUBJECT OF MESSAGE', Type=>'TEXT', Data=>"THIS IS THE MESSAGE" ); # do not forget this $msg->send("smtp","smtp.something.addr"); # note: small letters # and smtp server` [download] Your problem (amongst others) is probably that you don't have a default SMTP server specification. It would probably also help to Read The Manual. `-- Joost downtime n. The period during which a system is error-free and immune from user input.` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You need to specify the SMTP server, as in `$msg->send("smtp"=>$mail_server, Timeout=>60);` [download] -- Regards, Helgi Briem helgi AT decode DOT is	[reply] [d/l]
