NAME
Mail::Send - Simple electronic mail interface
SYNOPSIS
require Mail::Send;
$msg = Mail::Send->new;
$msg = Mail::Send->new(Subject => 'example', To => 'timbo');
$msg->to('user@host');
$msg->to('user@host', 'user2 AT example.com');
$msg->subject('example subject');
$msg->cc('user@host');
$msg->bcc('someone@else');
$msg->set($header, @values);
$msg->add($header, @values);
$msg->delete($header);
# Launch mailer and set headers. The filehandle returned
# by open() is an instance of the Mail::Mailer class.
# Arguments to the open() method are passed to the Mail::Mailer
# constructor.
$fh = $msg->open; # some default mailer
$fh = $msg->open('sendmail'); # explicit
print $fh "Body of message";
$fh->close # complete the message and send it
or die "couldn't send whole message: $!\n";
DESCRIPTION
Mail::Send creates e-mail messages without using the Mail::Header knowledge, which means
that all escaping and folding must be done by you! Also: do not forget to escape leading
dots. Simplicity has its price.
When you have time, take a look at Mail::Transport which is part of the MailBox suite.
METHODS
Constructors
Mail::Send->new(PAIRS)
A list of header fields (provided as key-value PAIRS) can be used to initialize the
object, limited to the few provided as method: "to", "subject", "cc", and "bcc". For
other header fields, use add().
Header fields
$obj->add($fieldname, @values)
Add values to the list of defined values for the $fieldname.
$obj->bcc(@values)
$obj->cc(@values)
$obj->delete($fieldname)
$obj->set($fieldname, @values)
The @values will replace the old values for the $fieldname. Returned is the LIST of
values after modification.
$obj->subject(@values)
$obj->to(@values)
Sending
$obj->open(%options)
The %options are used to initiate a mailer object via Mail::Mailer::new(). Then
Mail::Mailer::open() is called with the knowledge collected in this "Mail::Send"
object.
Be warned: this module implements raw smtp, which means that you have to escape lines
which start with a dot, by adding one in front.
