Hi,

I'm using MIME::Lite to send out an email. I have an ini file that I am reading some values in from. My main problem is that I want to express the From value of the email client as:

"Test User" <test@test.com>

using   my $msg=MIME::Lite->new(<br>
       'From'    =>'"Test User" <test@test.com>',
        etc

works but I have an ini file which I am accessing through

Local::Ini
my $ini=new Local::Ini(q|test.ini|);
my %defaults=$ini->defaults();

and then need to have 

my $msg=MIME::Lite->new(<br>
       'From'    =>'$defaults{Mail}{From}||"$ENV{USER}"',

[download]

but of course the single quotes stop the expansion. I have had a look at the FAQ on expanding variables in strings and expanding function calls in a string but I wasn't really sure what to do.
