There's about 25 threads on the site that have talked about this, from using sendmail and NET::SMTP to connecting to sockets directly and using MIME::Lite. Many of them are quite excellent. I would recommend using the search box above, and doing some searching. That search will only search subject titles. You can type 'super search' in the search box, and go to a node that will allow searching the bodies of the messages for such information. --Chris e-mail jcwren	[reply]

Download and install the MailTools bundle from CPAN it includes all you'll ever need for sending emails from Perl together with lots of good examples. http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=dist&query=mailtools -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> European Perl Conference - Sept 22/24 2000, ICA, London <http://www.yapc.org/Europe/>	[reply]

Beautiful! use Mail::Sendmail; %mail = ( To => 'you@there.com', From => 'me@here.com', Message => "This is a very short message" ); sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error; print "OK. Log says:\n", $Mail::Sendmail::log; --moo	[reply]

It depends what you are using to send the mail. Look here for some modules, as well as Net::SMTP, and the MIME::* modules. Choose which you want to use and look at the examples in the docs. Cheers, KM	[reply]
