My programmer partner, at whose feet I am learning, has asked me to find the answer to a problem. He is working off site on a contract and has limited net access (this is not a master testing a pupil). I've asked on comp.lang.perl.modules and on a couple of my regular mailing lists to no avail. I now turn to the monks for help. His question to me was: how to get a filehandle out of Mailer::Mail suitable for use with the write() function. I have tried 
$mailer = new Mail::Mailer 'smtp', Server=>'smtp.server.net';
select($mailer);
select($mailer->open(\%mail_header));
select($mailer->body);

I know there is a filehandle out there somewhere I just can't find it. TIA Tony
