Re^4: passing a hash to module function by Marshall (Canon) on Feb 15, 2011 at 19:27 UTC
When you pass a hash to a function, this "flattens out" as a sequence of key, value. No need to worry, follow the below formula: `### Create a new multipart message: $msg = MIME::Lite->new ( From => 'me@myhost.com', To => 'you@yourhost.com', Cc => 'some@other.com, some@more.com', Subject => 'A message with 2 parts...', Type => 'multipart/mixed' ); ### use Net:SMTP to do the sending $msg->send('smtp','some.host', Debug=>1 ); Same as: $msg->send('smtp' => 'some.host', 'Debug' => 1 );` [download] you were passing a reference to a hash instead of the actual hash which is key value pairs. Update: Ooops. What Wind has written is correct. I missed that you were passing a hash ref to a very, very thin layer. My bad.	[reply] [d/l]

### Create a new multipart message:
$msg = MIME::Lite->new
    (
        From    => 'me@myhost.com',
        To      => 'you@yourhost.com',
        Cc      => 'some@other.com, some@more.com',
        Subject => 'A message with 2 parts...',
        Type    => 'multipart/mixed'
    );

### use Net:SMTP to do the sending
    $msg->send('smtp','some.host', Debug=>1 );
    
    Same as:
    $msg->send('smtp'  => 'some.host',
               'Debug' => 1
              );
