sendmail module problems

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using sendmail perl module but it does not always send email and I don't get any error value returned from my die statement :

my $sender = new Mail::Sender{smtp => 'localhost'};

ref ($sender->MailMsg({to => $mailing_address,
                       from => 'X Y Z',
                       subject => 'HELP HELP,
                       msg => $inputLine})) 
|| die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n"

Hi your usage seems incorrect, here is an example from the official Mail::Sender documentation which you can see here `If everything you need is to send a simple message you may use: use Mail::Sender; ref ($sender = new Mail::Sender({ from => 'somebody@somewhere.com', smtp => 'ms.chipnet.cz'}) ) or die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n"; (ref ($sender->MailMsg({ to => 'Jenda@Krynicky.czX', subject => 'this is a test', msg => "Hi Johnie.\nHow are you?"}) ) and print "Mail sent OK." ) or die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n"; __END__` [download] cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply] [d/l]

RTFL ;-) Check your MTA (Sendmail, Postfix...) logs ! The answer is probably there waiting for you Note: I can't test your code yet and assume the syntax error I can see is a typo... and that your script doesn't die (wasn't so clear for me...) "Only Bad Coders Code Badly In Perl" (OBC2BIP)	[reply]
