`new Mail::Mailer->new($smtp, $YourEmail)` You are using both method invocation syntaxes, when you should use either one or the other but not both, eg `Mail::Mailer->new($smtp, $YourEmail); or new Mail::Mailer $smtp, $YourEmail;` [download] Dave.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Please read the writeup formatting tips and actually look at the preview before posting a question. It's really hard to read like this, and now someone has to correct your post. Also: I'm pretty sure that isn't the whole code you should not use single quotes around $variables because then they won't interpolate you're creating 2 Mail::Mailer objects, you should only need one.
