Dear davido,

I am sorry to have to intrude you back again after this wonderful old post of yours.
First of all can you enable the above script again from your server? Since when I tried it here, it gave error.

I think because it fail to recognize this line:

my ( $tof_file, $bof_file ) = ( '', '../site_templates/bof.shtml' );
[download]

I have the similar problem with OP. The following script does a simple processing. It try to send the input values by email. Initially with "mailx" command under linux, then with Mail::Mailer as you suggested.

But why my script below fail to send the email?
The script below also accessible in the following site:

__BEGIN__
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use CGI ':standard';
use Data::Dumper;

print header, start_html('Order Ice Cream with Price'),
         h1('Order Ice Cream with Price');

generate_form();
print_results() if param();
print end_html();

sub print_results {
    print b('Customer name: '), param('customer'), br;

    my $ct     = param('cone');
    my $nu     = param('no_unit');
    my $uemail = param('user_email');
    my $subject = "Result";

    if ( $ct && $nu ) {

        my $content = "You ordered $ct as many as $nu unit";
        print $content,br;
        print "This message should be sent to your email address: ",u(
+$uemail), " soon";

        # Tried to send email here, but fail...
        # system("mailx -s $subject $uemail < $content");
        
         # Tried this to send email also fail...
         # It says can't find module, but in my server 
         # I have no problem doing: perl -c mailresult.cgi
         send_message(  $uemail, "monkfan",
            "ewijaya\@i2r.a-star.edu.sg", $subject,
            $content );



    }
    else {
        show_error_message();
    }

}

sub send_message {
    
    # I deliberately remove $q here
 
    my ( $recipient_addr, $sender_name, $sender_email, $subject,
        $message )
        = @_;
    my $mail = new Mail::Mailer; 
    $mail->open(
        {   To      => $recipient_addr,
            From    => $sender_email, 
            Subject => "[Perlmonk Contact] " . $subject
        }
        )
        or die "Can't open mail transport system: $!\n";
    print $mail $message;
    close $mail or die "Can't close mail transport session: $!\n"; 
}


sub show_error_message {
   print "Unit Too Large\n";

}

sub generate_form {
    print hr, start_form,
        strong('Your name : '),
              textfield( -name => 'customer' ), br,br
        strong('Your email: '),
             textfield( -name => 'user_email'), br,br
        strong('Cone: '),
            radio_group( -name     => 'cone', -multiple => 1,
                           -values   => [qw/sugar waffle/]),br,br
        strong('Number of Units: '),
              textfield( -name => 'no_unit'), br,br
        submit( -value => 'Send Order' ),
        end_form, hr;

}
