in thread Net::SMTP - To: and From: not appearing in headers?

Actually you have to end every line of $smtp->datasend() with a ';' cause they are Different lines.
They are not part of the 'new' method
Also you should have your $to and your $from variables with the actuall email address, not what appears on the email.
So your code should look like this
my $to = "ghenry\@perl.me.uk"; my $from = "support\@perl.me.uk"; my $server = "relay.plus.net" ; $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($server); $smtp->mail($from); $smtp->to($to); $smtp->data(); $smtp->datasend("To: Gavin Henry <$to>\n"); $smtp->datasend("From: Support <$from>\n"); $smtp->datasend("Subject: Rsync backup success on $date\n"); $smtp->datasend("The remote backup has been completed.\n\n"); $smtp->datasend("Info:\n"); $smtp->datasend("\n$rsync\n"); $smtp->dataend(); $smtp->quit;

I also added a quit, to the smtp object, unless you intent to do anything else with it and the socket connection.
