    thx
    after reading what you suggested I've reached the conclusion that I'm suppose to pre-set the sendmail somehow before use,
    as far as I can understand (after searching my computer for "sendmail.exe"),
    I need to refer to the path of my sendmail.exe, so I added
    MIME::Lite->send('sendmail', 'C:\\xampp\xampplite\sendmail\sendmail.exe');
    before the "my" line.
    it doesn't die not, but it prints/warns (not sure whats the difference),
    that: "sendmail.exe: no recipients found" (it does this with & without the "use diagnostics;").
    I used both a "from" and a "to" which actually exists so what does it want ?
    Also it printed that line way to fast for it to look as if it actually went online and got something back!

    Any more ideas ??? (please :~|)

      The MIME::Lite documentation for ->send specifically says:

      ... Or, for non-Unix users:
      MIME::Lite->send("smtp");

      Your code looks nothing like the documentation. It seems to me you are not on a unixish system, so maybe it would be a solution to use what the documentation says?

        I do have a win32 system (I think I mentioned it before).
        but actually the documentation also says
        On Win32 systems the default setting is equivalent to: MIME::Lite->send("smtp");
        so... ?
        Anyway just so I won't skip any possibility,
        I tried to sub the
        MIME::Lite->send('sendmail', 'C:\\xampp\xampplite\sendmail\sendmail.exe'); line for
        MIME::Lite->send('smtp','C:\\xampp\xampplite\sendmail\sendmail.exe');
        making it die saying:
        SMTP Failed to connect to mail server: Invalid argument
        The same goes when I try MIME::Lite->send('smtp','sendmail','C:\\xampp\xampplite\sendmail\sendmail.exe');
        So just to be safe I even tried
        MIME::Lite->send('smtp');
        which dies saying class method send must have HOW... arguments

        I have no idea whats the problem.
        Also I find my code exactly like in the documentation as it is a copy/paste of it with the from/to strings changed.
        If you find my code that off-base, please tell me how to fix it.
