Hi,

I have written a perl program to send emails automatically using Email::Send::Gmail module under cygwin environment.

#!/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Email::Send;
use Email::Send::Gmail;
use Email::Simple::Creator;

my $from = undef;
my $to = undef;
my $subject = undef;
my $body = undef;
my $username = undef;
my $password = undef;


my $numArgs = $#ARGV + 1;

if($numArgs < 6)
{

    print "Less number of arguments than expected...\n";
    print "Execute as - EmailSend.exe from to subject body_file userna
+me password\n";
    print "Eg: EmailSend.exe venkatesan.gangadharan@gmail.com g.venkat
+esan@level3.com Test body.txt venkatesan.gangadharan@gmail.com xxxx";
    exit(0);
}
elsif($numArgs > 6)
{
    print "More number of arguments than expected...\n";
    print "Execute as - EmailSend.exe from to subject body_file userna
+me password\n";
    print "Eg: EmailSend.exe venkatesan.gangadharan@gmail.com g.venkat
+esan@level3.com Test body.txt venkatesan.gangadharan@gmail.com xxxx";
    exit(0);
}

$from = $ARGV[0];
$to = $ARGV[1];
$subject = $ARGV[2];
$body = $ARGV[3];
$username = $ARGV[4];
$password = $ARGV[5];

my $email = Email::Simple->create(
    header => [
          From    => $from,
          To      => $to,
          Subject => $subject,
      ],
      body => $body,
);

my $sender = Email::Send->new(
      {   mailer      => 'Gmail',
          mailer_args => [
              username => $username,
              password => $password,
          ]
      }
  );
eval { $sender->send($email) };
die "Error sending email: $@" if $@;
[download]

The above program worked fine until recently. I made some modifications in the program and tested it previously. The program throwed some errors testing, so i reverted back to my previous working code. The problem now is eventhough i reverted my code to the previous working code, when i run the program (as ./EmailSend.pl), cygwin still throws the same old errors.

My Results:
$ ./Emailtest_backup_2.pl
Possible unintended interpolation of @gmail in string at ./Emailtest_backup_2.pl line 24.
Possible unintended interpolation of @level3 in string at ./Emailtest_backup_2.pl line 24.

Execution of ./Emailtest_backup_2.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

If you could see the code, the program should produce the following output:

Less number of arguments than expected...
Execute as - EmailSend.exe from to subject body_file username password
Eg: EmailSend.exe venkatesan.gangadharan@gmail.com g.venkatesan@level3
+.com Test body.txt venkatesan.gangadharan@gmail.com xxxx
[download]

But it is giving the output of my previous tests.

Could anyone help me to sort out this problem?

Thanks in advance!!!
