- You don't need sendmail localy installed, because EMbperl::Mail uses
Net::SMTP and therefor only need an SMTP server anywhere on the network (so
it works also on Windows NT (95/98 has some socket problems and I am not
sure if it works quite ok there))
Of course you can use Net::SMTP and Execute in the same way as you decribed
above, the advantage of Embperl::Mail is only that it has done this already
for you and gives you an easy to use interface e.g.
HTML::Embperl::Mail::Execute( { inputfile => 'blah.epl', to =>
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' } );
seems easier to me, then first calling Execute and then pipeing the output
to sendmail. It's just a type saver.
