Here's a corrected version that works under -w and
strict:
use strict;
use Mail::Mailer;
my $from_address = "perlmonk";
my $to_address = "user\@localhost";
my $subject = "hi";
my $body = "hello";
my $mailer = Mail::Mailer->new("sendmail");
$mailer->open({
From => $from_address,
To => $to_address,
Subject => $subject,
});
print $mailer $body;
$mailer->close();
(note that there was a missing semicolon)
and the second:
open(MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t -odq") || die "Can't open sendma
+il: $!";
print MAIL <<MESSAGE;
From: Your name <emailaddress\@blah.com>
To: Recipient name <email address\@blah2.com>
Subject: Mailing with Perl
this is easy.
MESSAGE
close(MAIL);
(note that the heredoc was broken)
