I am on Windows XP home edition. I have this software Secure Shell which tunnels to
a remote host(unix). The remote is very strictly managed, any installation of anything would
require me to talk to/call up the system administator(this is national security). Then I have this
home-made module directory, just a dir with lots of *.pm files, I have got away without actually
downloading any module for a while. ( I usually just copy and paste the raw source code and save
it under my module dir)
Any 'make install' would result in Error. Since what I am doing is relatively
simple, I just dug out the required module from the MailTools-1.67/, like Mail::Send, Mail::Mailer
etc and save them into my secret home-made module dir and set path to it.
STOP: any suggestion for me on how to install modules correctly or any doubt for me
on if I really want to learn to install modules, plz stop. I appreciate your eagerness to show off
your seniority. And stop making assumption, as I just stated case clear enough. And when it comes
down to learning/study, very few people could match my intensity.
My point again: I am a perl beginner. I don't care how the perl is developing and
where perl is going. I am doing stuff way fancier than what you can imagine. I am current doing a
project with web input and data anaylysis and email feedback. I need to do them and not to think
why and how perl is like this, why and how perl module works this way. As long as it works, I am
happy and I am making progress. If the purpose of being on this list is to ask questions and help
each other out, I am in for it.
I have enough 'living-a-pumped-up-life' phylosophies from my 5,000-year
cultural heritages.
Here is my script:
require Mail::Send;
$msg = new Mail::Send;
$msg = new Mail::Send Subject=>'example subject', To=>'Bing Zhao';
$msg->to('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
$msg->subject('example subject');
$msg->cc('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
$fh = $msg->open;
print $fh "Body of message";
$fh->close;
With no error regarding the whereabout of the necessary modules, I assume I got the module thing
right. Then every time, this 'dead.letter' is generated. I guess it's part of the built-in
function of Mail::Send, when the script fails to send the email. Anyway, here is a copy of the
dead.letter files:
