    Default Create electronic newsletters and email to all people in an excel spreadsheet

    Hi Guys

    We are using Windows platform and active perl in our organisation. We want
    to create electronic newsletters(which embed images as well) and want to
    mailout all the people whose email addresses are in an excel spreadsheet.
    Can you give some advice about what modules/items we should use in Active
    perl to create/mailout electronic newsletters?. How can we achieve this
    task?. Are there any particular way to do this in active perl?. What
    modules/sections of Active perl we should need?.Can you give some reference
    or help?

    Thank you
    Jo

    Heres a couple of simple examples of sending email as HTML using MIME::Lite.
    You could put your newsletter in HTML format.
    Also see [url]http://search.cpan.org/dist/MIME-Lite/lib/MIME/Lite.pm[/url]
    The easiest way to get the email addresses from Excel is cut/paste into
    notepad.


    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use strict;

    require MIME::Lite;
    require MIME::Lite::HTML;


    my $msg;
    $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
    To =>'user@bigpond.com',
    From =>'newsletter@sadasdasd.com.au',
    Subject =>'HTML with in-line images!',
    Type =>'multipart/related'
    );
    $msg->attach(Type => 'text/html',
    Data => qq{ <body>
    Here's <i>my</i> image:
    <img src="http://asdasd.com.au/images/asdasd.gif">
    </body> }
    );
    $msg->send;



    my $mailHTML = new MIME::Lite::HTML
    From => 'MIME-Lite@alianwebserver.com',
    To => 'user@bigpond.com',
    Subject => 'test';

    my $MIMEmail = $mailHTML->parse('http://asdsad.com.au');
    $MIMEmail->send;

    Thanks Greg. This really helped me. I couldn't install the MIME::Lite::HTML
    module. I use ppm for module installation. I was able to install only
    MIME::Lite.

    Cheers

    When I did this last your I installed the two modules in a local directory.
    My ISP at the time did not have them installed.
