See the Perl Email Project. And if your manager insists on you using a version of Perl that is six years old, then I recommend that you upgrade to a better manager :-) -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

I recommend that you upgrade to a better manager I keep invoking the CPAN shell and can't find the command for that... which is it? I've tried `install Manager::New` [download] and it insists that module is not on CPAN. Peter L.

I've been using Mail::Sendmail for years, which, despite the name, does not speak to the `sendmail(1)` binary, but directly to the port 25 of the mail server of your choice. It's well-maintained and does the job very well. And I'm still using it today on 5.6 platforms that are in production. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]

In Perl 5.6, what modules can send a email? Does your manager perhaps allow you to install CPAN modules? If so, try MIME::Lite or Mail::Send. I've used both over the years with a tendancy to prefer MIME::Lite. Peter L. Berghold -- Unix Professional Peter -at- Berghold -dot- Net; AOL IM redcowdawg Yahoo IM: blue_cowdawg	[reply]

I've used Mail::Sender under 5.6 and 5.8. I've found it especially easy to use when sending emails with attachments within Perl.	[reply]

In Perl 5.6, How to search modules and install modules? In exactly the same way as you do it on any version of Perl 5.x. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
