Re: Losing eol character using MIME::Lite

Who's eating the eol? At this point I'm willing to blame the dog, but if anybody could point me toward a more likely suspect, I would greatly appreciate it. As would the dog.

Start with Basic debugging checklist

Also don't write your program in between subroutine declarations

As you can see no newlines are missing

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Lite;
use Data::Dump qw/ dd /;

my $source_heart_beat_timestamp = '';
my $target_heart_beat_timestamp = '';


$source_heart_beat_timestamp = "foo";
$target_heart_beat_timestamp = "bar";

my $output_msg =
  "Source Heart Beat TimeStamp: " . $source_heart_beat_timestamp . "\n
+";
$output_msg .= "Target Heart Beat TimeStamp: $target_heart_beat_timest
+amp";

local_do_mail("local_do_mail:\n$output_msg");

$source_heart_beat_timestamp = "20171207_113255";
$target_heart_beat_timestamp = "bar";

$output_msg =
  "Source Heart Beat TimeStamp: " . $source_heart_beat_timestamp . "\n
+";
$output_msg .= "Target Heart Beat TimeStamp: $target_heart_beat_timest
+amp";

local_do_mail("local_do_mail:\n$output_msg");

exit 0;

sub local_do_mail {
    my ($msg_body) = @_;

    my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
        From    => 'cloudops@example.com',
        To      => 'cbeckley@example.com',
        Subject => 'testing missing eol',
        Data    => $msg_body
    );
#~     $msg->send;
#~     $msg->print;
    dd( $msg->as_string );
}

Count the \n there are 2 in both messages


"local_do_mail:\nSource Heart Beat TimeStamp: foo\nTarget Heart Beat T
+imeStamp: bar"
"local_do_mail:\nSource Heart Beat TimeStamp: 20171207_113255\nTarget

So who is to blame? The destination displaying the email body.
