You're likely either using a really old version of Perl (pre 5.6.0, which is a few years old) or your installation is broken somehow. Perl's trying to load the `warnings` pragmas, one of the standard library modules and is failing. Type `perl -V` to check your version and paths.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

There are several mail sending modules, though Perl 5.5.3 is five (almost six) major releases out of date. I strongly encourage you to upgrade, though you might try Mail::Mailer. (For what it's worth, only one module I maintain explicitly supports anything older than 5.6.0, and that's because it's a Test:: module.)	[reply]
