Hi,
I'm trying to use MIME::Lite to handle email, allowing the use of either sendmail or SMTP. Here is the code I have: 

$mail_method = "1";
$mail_program = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";
$email_from = 'test@domain.com';
$email_to = 'neil@domain.com';
$email_subject = 'foo';
$email_text = 'bar';

$msg = MIME::Lite->new( 
    From    =>'$email_from',
    To      =>'$email_to',
    Subject =>'$email_subject',
    Type    =>'multipart/mixed',
    Data     =>'$email_text'
);

#if ($email_attach) {
#$msg->attach(
#    Type     =>'$email_attach_type',
#    Path     =>'$email_attach_path',
#    Filename =>'$email_attach_file',
#    Disposition => 'attachment'
#);
#}

if ($mail_method eq "1") {
MIME::Lite->send("sendmail", "$mail_program");
} elsif ($mail_method eq "2") {
MIME::Lite->send('smtp', "$smtp_address", Timeout=>$smtp_timeout);
}
 $msg->send || die "sendmail failed";

No errors are returned and no email is sent, nothing. The software just runs as normal and no email is received.
All suggestions/help is very much appreciated.
Thanks, Neil
