Let's see your code. I use it all the time. I would show you an example but I can't get access to our network for some reason! So if nobody else responds, I will post something in the morning.

Personally, I tend to like MIME::Lite better. HEre is a sub I used to sendmail messages about ftp downloads, errors, etc. We have a sendmail server on a sun box.

sub SendMail {
    my ($recipients, $subject, $msg) = @_;

    $msg=MIME::Lite->new(
        To    => "$recipients",
        From    => "$fromAddress",
        Subject    => "$subject",
        Type    => 'text/html',
        Data    => "$msg"
    );

    MIME::Lite->send('smtp', "$mailhost");
    $msg->send();
}

The code is (this one's an example from The Perl Journal):

#!C:\Perl\bin\perl -w

use Mail::Mailer qw/smtp/;

my $mailer = new Mail::Mailer 'smtp', Server => "elinara.ktu.lt";

$mailer->open(To => ['mindaugas@elinara.ktu.lt'],
              Cc => ['mindaugas@elinara.ktu.lt'],
            From => 'mindaugas@elinara.ktu.lt',
         Subject => 'Some test mail');

print $mailer "Message Body.\n";

$mailer->close;

The script is executed, but I don't gen an e-mail. What might be wrong here?

Hi, according to the Mail::Mailer docs, you need to pass a hashref with the headers, you're passing a hash. Try this:

$mailer->open({ ( To => ['mindaugas@elinara.ktu.lt'],
                  Cc => ['mindaugas@elinara.ktu.lt'],
                  From => 'mindaugas@elinara.ktu.lt',
                  Subject => 'Some test mail'
                 ) } 
             );

Does that work?

Robartes-

I was about to say the same thing, as Net::SMTP is a core module, I usually prefer to use core modules, if it provides the functionality I want.

But as you said it already, I gained more time to look into the Mail:: stuff, source code and document, and think about those a little bit more.

Hey, I do like it. The Mail::Mailer and other supporting classes are done in a “real” OO-style. They had all the entities abstracted, for example, they have this Mail::Address class to wrap RFC822 mail addresses. That’s what the OO-style codes are supposed to look like, at least in theory. The design is neat.

I am not saying Net::SMTP is bad, on the contrary, for myself I would still use Net::SMTP, as it is slim.
