Note that you should probably be using something like Mail::Mailer or
Mail::SendMail to do the dirty work of sending mail.
I can think of reasons why in some cases you might prefer Mail::Mailer
over using mailx, but "the dirty work" isn't one of them.
When I use Mail::Mailer, I need three lines of code on
overhead. One line for the OO overhead, a second line to actually open
a mail, and a third line to close the mail.
When using mailx, I only need 2 lines: one for the open,
a second for the close. There's no "dirty work" here - the dirty work
is done by mailx!
I've never had problems using mailx, something I cannot
say from Mail::Mailer (or Mail::Send).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
