Mail::Sender - authentication and design questionsby Jenda (Abbot) |

Jenda has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: I would like to get some input from the general public on a few issues with Mail::Sender. 1) Will anyone mind if the SendXxxxx() methods will return the Mail::Sender object instead of the 1 they used to? This would allow chaining the method calls like this : 2) There is a beta version that contains code for the SMTP authentication at http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz/Sender.pm . Currently the only supported protocols are LOGIN, PLAIN and CRAM-DM5, but it should be relatively easy to add other ones. Especialy if anyone sends me a snipet of code that implements them ;-) There is no documentation on this feature yet and the interface is not yet fixed (yes, THIS is the question). In the beta the new Mail::Sender constructor and the Open, OpenMultipart, MailMsg and MailFile methods accepts three new parameters : I wonder whether to use "username" and "password" or "authid" and "authpwd" or something else ... I do not have access to any server that would implement PLAIN and CRAM-MD5 so could someone test it and let me know? Or create for me a temporary test account on such a server if there are problems so that I could test? Thanks for opinions, suggestions, bug and success reports and code snipets.
