Hello Monks, I found this script in this site and I'm trying to make it work. I installed the Mailer package including smtp.pm, mailer.pm, etc. By running this script I get an error message "Can't locate object method "open" via package "Mail::Mailer::smtp" I dodn't know what else to install does anyone have experience this issue. I'm trying to send an email from XP to a Nextel phone by using <phone#>@messaging.nextel.com. Does anyone have use a different package to acomplish this operation?? Here is the code 
#! perl -w

use Mail::Mailer;

print "\nTo: ";
$dest = <STDIN>;
chomp $dest;

print "Subject: ";
$subj = <STDIN>;
chomp $subj;

print "\nBody:\n";
$body = <STDIN>;

$mailer = Mail::Mailer->new("smtp", Server=> "smtpserver.edu");

$mailer->open( { From    => 'john <sender@ser1.ser2.edu>',
         To    => "$dest",
         Subject => "$subj" } )
    or die "Couldnt do it: $!\n";

print $mailer $body;
$mailer->close();
