Hi Monks!
I have a Perl Module that sends email no problem, I am trying to this current module add the ability to send HMTL email, can anyone show me how I could add this feature to this module?
I added a line there but need to see if this is the best way to the current code I already have.
Thanks a lot!!!

sub my_sendmail
 {
  my ($to, $subject, $msg_body, $from_addr, $from_name, $to_name) = @_
+;
  my $input;

  # Make sure variables are set up correctly
  (ref($to) eq "ARRAY") || die "Argument \$to must be a reference to a
+n array";
  $subject = "(No subject)" unless ($subject);

  # Add the first email address to the To: name
  $to_name = ($to_name ? "$to_name " : '');
  $to_name .= "<$to->[0]>";

  # Use default 'from' address if not defined
  unless ($from_addr) {
    $from_addr = $default_from_addr;
    $from_name = $default_from_name;
   }

  # Add 'from' address to name.  Some ISP's require a valid email in '
+From:'
  $from_name .= " <$from_addr>";

  warn "<pre>\n" if ($sendmail_debug);
  warn "Calling SMTP server.\n" if ($sendmail_debug);
  my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(
        PeerAddr => $mail_server,
        Type => SOCK_STREAM,
        PeerPort => 'smtp(25)',
        Proto => 'tcp');

  unless ($sock) {
    warn "Can't open a port on the mail server ($mail_server).";
    return 0;
   }

  $input = <$sock>;
  warn "$input\r\n" if ($sendmail_debug);

  print $sock "HELO localhost\r\n";
  $input = <$sock>;
  warn "$input\r\n" if ($sendmail_debug);

  print $sock "mail from:<$from_addr>\r\n";
  $input = <$sock>;
  warn "$input\r\n" if ($sendmail_debug);

  # Send to each recipient here.  They won't see the others' addresses
  my $rcpt;
  foreach $rcpt (@$to) {
    print $sock "rcpt to:<$rcpt>\r\n";
    $input = <$sock>;
    warn "$input\r\n" if ($sendmail_debug);
   }

  print $sock "DATA\r\n";
  print $sock "Subject: $subject\r\n";
  print $sock "From: $from_name\r\n";
  print $sock "Reply-To: $from_addr\r\n";
  print $sock "To: $to_name\r\n";
  print $sock "\r\n";
  #test line to add HTML to the emails
  print $sock "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
  print $sock "$msg_body\r\n";
  print $sock ".\r\n";

  $input = <$sock>;
  warn "$input\r\n" if ($sendmail_debug);
  print $sock "QUIT";
  close ($sock);

  return 1;

 } # End of my_sendmail()

1; # End of My Sendmail.pm
