ccperl Mailing

[Mike Flannigan]

Sendmail.pm (use Mail::Sendmail;)
worked for me (without an attachment) on a Win2000 box.
Just install the module from:
[url]http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Mail::Sendmail[/url]

and use the "Another Example" that they supply.

I'd like to hear how to attached a file to the message.

Mike,

The problem with this is that we need to only use the modules that come with
the standard ccperl5.0 install. We have a program called "ClearCase", which
is a file managing program, and we run Perl scripts within this program
using ccperl5.0, which gets installed on a user's computer with the
ClearCase installation. There are only a few mail modules that come with
the standard installation and I need to be able to only use these modules.
The instructions within the modules are confusing at best.

Thanks,

Oops, sorry.

I just had to jump on that question, since it was one of the
few that I mistakenly thought I could answer :-)

I would not pass quite so harsh a judgment on ccperl, it is adequate
for most jobs, and some govt. shops prohibit any opensource or
freeware addons.

I have an interop trigger that sends mail on AIX with:
qx(mailx -s '$subj' '$mailto' < message.temp);
$subj, $mailto, and message.temp are previously defined.

For windows I made use of "notify.exe", an undocumented mail utility
used internally by clearcase. it's a bit messy to use but here's how
I did it:
$bat = "c:\\doc_email.bat"; #batch to handle multiple email addresses
my $bat2 = ">".$bat;
unless (open BAT, "$bat2") {die "unable to create doc_email.bat.";}
print BAT "\\\\network path to\\notify.exe -s \"".$subj."\" -f
c:\\message.temp ".$mailto;
close(BAT);
qx(c:\\doc_email.bat);

note the quoting aroung $subj

clarification: those "opensource or freeware addons" *not* shipping
with the OEM product are sometimes prohibited.
