net::smtp

zap

i'm having trouble using net::smtp module for perl i can't find any good examples what i wanna do is,

e-mail jim@john.com cc it to paul@john.com (has to be cc cause server won't allow more that 1 receiptent) subject: Test Message: Testing 1,2

The module's documentation has multiple examples.
I suggest turning debugging on in the 'new' call [Net::SMTP->new( 'mailhost', Debug=>1) ]
It will display the mail server's responses which will give you an idea what is wrong.

Here is the simple example from the docs. This should be a good starting point.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use Net::SMTP;

$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost', Debug=>1);

$smtp->mail($ENV{USER});
$smtp->to('postmaster');

$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: jim\@john.com\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend("A simple test message\n");
$smtp->dataend();

$smtp->quit;

Post your code if you still have problems.

I have seen that example what I don't get is how to specify the subject and a cc

I suggest you have a quick look over that documentation again because I haven't much of an idea about this but from the link:

recipient ( ADDRESS [, ADDRESS, [...]] [, OPTIONS ] )

Notify the server that the current message should be sent to all of the addresses given. Each address is sent as a separate command to the server. Should the sending of any address result in a failure then the process is aborted and a false value is returned. It is up to the user to call reset if they so desire.

EDIT: Alternatively try this - http://quark.humbug.org.au/publications/perl/perlsmtpintro.html

I've never used Perl and even I could implement that without a problem, its all given too you...
