Re^2: sending email using Email::Send

Hmm, so

sub DESTROY {
    $SMTP->quit if $SMTP;
}
[download]

doesn't get executed (?in time)?

No, it doesn't appear to be, adding a warning statement to the DESTROY block in Email::Send::SMTP does not result in any output. I'm pretty sure it's not a timeout issue either, because doing a tcpdump trace of the net traffic shows the script sending a TCP FIN packet (so it's actively closing the connection, not hanging). All dogma is stupid.	[reply] [d/l]

Making $SMTP a file scope lexical (my) would probably fix that.	[reply]

Nope, doesn't. And to be honest I don't see how changing $SMTP's scope would have anything to do with the execution of the DESTROY block (the warning I added was independent of $SMTP's content). All dogma is stupid.	[reply] [d/l]
