I have a script that emails me details from a file. The script works fine in a 32-bit version of Activeperl, but does not run using a 64-bit version. It seems to crap out on this line:

$smtp->mail($email_from); # sender's address
  • Why would that ever be a case?
  • How can I fix this to work on either version?
    • use Net::SMTP;
use Win32::EventLog;

$summary = '';
$extra = '';
$begin_summary = 0;

$data_file = "C:/Logs/myfile.log";
open(IN, $data_file) || die("Could not open file!");
@raw_data = <IN>;
close(IN);
for my $row (@raw_data) {
    if ( $row =~ /\s+Total\s+Copied\s+Skipped\s+Mismatch\s+FAILED\s+Ex
+tras\s+/ ) {
        $begin_summary = 1;
    }
    
    if ( $begin_summary ) {
        $summary .= $row;
    }

    if ($row =~ /\s+Ended \: /) {
        #print "Exiting loop\n";
        last;
    }
}

write_event(900, EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, $summary);

send_email("My Big Fat Notification - " . $ENV{COMPUTERNAME}, "$extra\
+n$summary");

sub send_email() {
    my ($subject, $body) = @_;
    my $email_from = 'fromster@frobot.com';
    my $email_to   = ('toster@frobot.com');
    
    my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('smtpserver.frobot.com'); # Connect to a
+n SMTP server
    $smtp->mail($email_from); # sender's address
    $smtp->to($email_to); # Recipient's address
    $smtp->data(); # Start the mail
    
    # Send the header.
    $smtp->datasend("To: $email_to\n");
    $smtp->datasend("From: $email_from\n");
    $smtp->datasend("Subject: $subject\n");
    $smtp->datasend("\n");
