Re^2: Bad file descriptor with mail to Gmail using MIME::Lite.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'd thought of that and tried the following:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Email::Send;
use Email::Send::Gmail;
use MIME::Lite;

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
 From     =>'bob@gmail.com',
 To       =>'bob@gmail.com',
 Subject  =>'test'
);

my $sender = Email::Send->new(
 { mailer      => 'Gmail',
   mailer_args=>[ username=>'bob@gmail.com',password=>'123456',]   
 }
);
eval { $sender->send($msg) };
die "Error sending email: $@" if $@;

I receive no error, but the code immediately returns to a prompt and no mail is sent. I am somewhat new to this and assume you suggested I patch the "send" part (which works with Email::Simple::Creator) to my existing MIME code. Correct? Thoughts?

... Correct? Yes and no :) What I was thinking of was to replace Email::Simple::Creator with Email::MIME::Creator to create the msg, as the latter module is essentially the "multipart" extension of the former... from the same author, so chances are good that if Email::Simple::Creator works, the MIME variant might work, too.

I had checked Email::MIME::Creator but it lists it as "obsolete do-nothing library." The "obsolete do-nothing part" scared me off. But I'll try it tonight as it's still listed as a module ...	[reply]
