Monks, the code works fine. When i get the input from the user for $text, i want to get the input with multiple lines. If the user gives enter after typing first line, the code starts running, i want to get the input even if the user gives enter key until he gives ctrl+c or ctrl+D or ctrl+z or some other option. How can i achieve this. Because in text part i want to print multiple lines. I tried by making input record separator undef, but it is not working as per my requirement

use Mail::Sender::Easy qw(email);   

print "Enter the From address with comma separator\n";
chomp ($from = <STDIN>);
print "Enter the To address with comma separator\n";
chomp ($to = <STDIN>);
print "Enter the cc address with comma separator\n";
chomp ($cc = <STDIN>);
print "Enter the bcc address with comma separator\n";
chomp ($bcc = <STDIN>);
print "Enter the subject\n";
chomp ($sub = <STDIN>);
print "Enter the body part\n";
chomp ($text = <STDIN>);


    email({
        'from'         => "$from",
        'to'           => "$to",
        'cc'           => "$cc",
        'bcc'           => "$bcc",
        'subject'      => "$sub",
        'priority'     => 2, # 1-5 high to low
        'confirm'      => 'delivery, reading',
        'smtp'         => '192.168.1.5',
        'port'         => 25,
        #'auth'         => 'LOGIN',
        #'authid'       => 'foo@bar.baz',
        'authpwd'      => 'protect_with_700_perms_or_get_it_from_input
+',
        '_text'        => "$text"        
    }) or die "email() failed: $@";
