Re: MORE COMPACT TO SEND EMAIL

How is this possibly easier than using Mail::Send (using Mail::Header, also in the MailTools family) or Net::SMTP, both of which allow you to set your own headers? These modules have been tested in the real world by thousands of people in many different situations and environments, and I know have many other things to do -- like sleep :-) -- than reinvent a wheel that works really well already.

Cause when you try to modify the return path you can't do it. The return path line is put by the the SMTP. Try and you will see !	[reply]

Not to denigrate your hard work, but why not subclass or extend an existing module to do what you want done differently? It sounds like there is only one major complaint you have with the existing code base-- which to me means that there is no reason to rebuild the whole thing unless adding that one feature is likely to severely break the existing module.

I'm OK with you, but this works is one part of a biggest project in parse, restructure email. And in this project, i need to have a soft structure to send mail. And for me it's very interresting to see exactly how a module could be writting. In this case, this part of developpement is my own reflexion about "mysterious of a module". But you're note is interresting, and i think , that i will try to "patch" an existant module. Thank You.	[reply]
