Hi,

in addition to what was said before. This snippet should show you that you don't need to explicitly call DESTROY:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;

use Email::Stuffer;

{
    package MyMail;
    use parent 'Email::MIME';

    sub DESTROY {
        my ($self) = @_;
        say "in DESTROY";
    }
}

# Get a Email::MIME object easily
my $email = Email::Stuffer->from('huhu@yahoo.de')
    ->to('you@yahoo.de')
    ->text_body('Hi you!')
    ->email;

foreach my $nr (1..2) {
    my $e = MyMail->new($email->as_string);
    say "Should be before DESTROY";
}
say "Atfter Loop";

As soon as your last reference to the object goes out of scope the DESTROY method gets called.
