You ought to look at using a module that handles the mailing itself, and scrap the idea of using MS Outlook. What could Outlook be providing that you can't do without?
I personally have had great results with MIME::Lite. It's available via PPM, so it's easy to install. The POD for that module gives examples that are clear to follow. And in a Windows environment where you don't have sendmail, it will even handle the transport itself.

I 2nd that, MIME::Lite is indeed a very cool and easy module to use.

I would suggest that you bypass MS Outlook and use something like Mail::Mailer.

As with many things with Perl, there is more than one way to do it. I think you might have better luck using some of the modules designed to send mail. Perhaps taking a look at this Q & A about sending mail from a Perl script would help you. | [reply] |
