Hello Monks

I'm trying to use Log4perl to send email alerts. Gone over the log4perl docs extensively.

I'm using Mail::Sender rather than Mail::Send -- I'm not sure why, but Mail::Send doesn't work for me so I'm trying Mail::Sender.

Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender appears to be installed ok: 

[414][/cygdrive/r/micmac]$ cpan install Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend
+er
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.27)
Going to read '/home/micmac/.cpan/Metadata'
  Database was generated on Thu, 26 Jun 2014 20:41:02 GMT
CPAN: Module::CoreList loaded ok (v2.49_02)
Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender is up to date (2.41).

Ok so I run my example: 
[415][/cygdrive/r/micmac]$ ./lw_ex1.pl
ERROR: can't load appenderclass 'Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender'

Right it's not there, so why did cpan say it was ok?

My log4perl.conf mailer section:

#Mailer 
log4perl.appender.Mailer=Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender
log4perl.appender.Mailer.from=${Mailer_To}
log4perl.appender.Mailer.to=${Mailer_To}
log4perl.appender.Mailer.smtp=exchange.mycompany.com
log4perl.appender.Mailer.subject=${MailerSubject}
log4perl.appender.Mailer.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.Mailer.layout.ConversionPattern=%d -  [CAT:%c %F HOS
+T:%H] %p > %m%n
log4perl.appender.Mailer.Threshold=WARN
log4perl.appender.Mailer.buffered=${Buffered}
log4perl.appender.Mailer.Filter=MailFilter

If I switch back to Mail::Send I get this:

422/cygdrive/r/micmac$ ./lw_ex1.pl Cannot close handle to mail program at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/Log/Dispatch/Email/MailSend.pm line 35.

lw_ex1.pl is just a simple script to run it: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger :levels :no_extra_logdie_message);
Log::Log4perl::init("log4perl.conf);
my $logger = get_logger("example");
$logger->info("START " . basename($0));
$logger->info("la ti da");

Any help most appreciated.
