The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: HTML::Mail
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Sends an HTML email with text alternative
userid: PLANK (Cláudio Valente)
chapterid: 15 (World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI)
communities:
similar:
MIME::Lite::HTML
rationale:
This module is intended to send an email with html (with associated
media) and an alternative text part.
I think the namespace HTML::Mail is appropriate, because:
1. The purpose of the module is to send/construct emails with HTML
2. I subclass HTML::Parser
I wrote this module from scratch due to MIME::Lite::HTML
limitations namely:
1. only supports gif and jpeg (this module should support all
mimetypes that perl knows of) 2. Actually parses the HTML in order
to replace the url only where it is supposed to and not in text
nodes. 3. It's relatively small and lightweight 4. Because I believe
MIME::Lite::HTML's approach in inherently flawed (point 2 can't be
solved without an almost complete rewrite)
I plan on implementing some kind of persistence in order to make
the process os generating custom messages more lightweight.
It's still beta
