In the case of a single message you would be better off modifying the above to slurp the message off the STDIN into a scalar and pass that to the constructor of Email::Simple, then do much the same as the above

Righto. Here is my stab at this:

use strict;
use warnings;

use Email::Send;
use Email::Simple;

my %received;
my @email;
#my $box = Email::Folder->new('/home/jonathan/mail/Recruiters/');

@email = <>;
my $message = join "\n", @email;
my $mail = Email::Simple->new($message);

$mail->header_set('To','target@host.com');

my $sender = Email::Send->new({mailer => 'SMTP'});
#my $sender = Email::Send->new({mailer => 'Sendmail'});
$sender->mailer_args([Host => 'localhost']);
my $rv = $sender->send ($mail->as_string());

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper($rv);
my @available = $sender->all_mailers;
print Dumper(@available);

Unfortunately, though it sppears to be proper code and all, it produces the following error:

$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'prop' => {},
                 'string' => 'Can\'t call method "address" on an undef

',
                 'type' => 'failure',
                 'errno' => 1
               }, 'Return::Value' );

Anyone have any idea what is wrong here?

I can't be bothered to test at the moment but I think your problem is the

@email = <>;
my $message = join "\n", @email;
[download]

where you could possibly better off doing something like

my $message = do { local $/; <> };

But the join you have is unnecessary as you haven't removed the line endings. A

my $message = join '', @email;
[download]

would be sufficient in your code.
