Regarding my question on Send email with recipient name, which has taken some time without response, i have came up with something like below, but its not working, even reporting any error.

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

use lib '.';
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;
use Email::Sender::Simple qw(sendmail);
use Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP ();
use Email::Simple ();
use Email::Simple::Creator ();
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);

$CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS = 1;
$CGI::POST_MAX        = 1048576;


print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";


my $host =   "host";
my $usr =    "user";
my $pwd =    "pwd";
my $dbname = "datname";

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$dbname:$host", $usr, $pwd, {
                                  RaiseError => 1,
                                  }) or die $DBI::errstr;


my @names;
my @rcpts;
my $name;
my $rcpt;
my $Response;


sub getusers {
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM bmop");
$sth->execute();

    while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
        $name = $row[2]; # Get their names
        $rcpt = $row[5]; # Get their emails
        push @names,$name;
        push @rcpts,$rcpt;

    }
}



sub getready {
    my $j = 0;

    foreach my $i(@names){
            ## Grab user info from the table

        $name = $names[$j]; # Get their name
        $rcpt = $rcpts[$j]; # Get their email

        sendmail();
        $j++;

    }

 }

sub sendmail {

my $sub = "Test mail";
my $msg = "<p> Hi $name </p>";

my $smtpserver = 'smtp.xxxxxx.com';
my $smtpport = 587;
my $smtpuser   = 'dddddd';
my $smtppassword = 'ddddd';


my $transport = Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP->new({
  host => $smtpserver,
  ssl  => 'starttls',
  port => $smtpport,
  sasl_username => $smtpuser,
  sasl_password => $smtppassword,
});

my $email = Email::Simple->create(
  header => [
    To      => $rcpt,
    From    => 'xxx@xxxx.com',
    Subject => $sub,
    'Content-Type' => 'text/html', 
  ],
  body => $msg,
);

sendmail($email, { transport => $transport });

$Response = "Process started";

}
