I am trying to add error checking for Mime::Lite too, however the documentation only shows this:

$msg->send || die "you DON'T have mail!";
[download]

however that does not say what was wrong, it does not give the exception error, so that we know what happened, other than it did not send the email, which would be obvious if we did this:

if($msg->send()) {
 # Say that the message was sent... or if in a subroutine just:
 return 1;
} else {
 # Give error message but what do we show to actually put what happene
+d? if in a subroutine return 0; but set an error such as:
#$Mime::Lite::error or something similar...
}
[download]

Any clues how to get the errors message to figure out what went wrong?

Thanks

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
