Bug #63538 for Net-SMTP-TLS: Error attaching multiple files with Net::SMTP::TLS

Thu Dec 02 06:39:41 2010 pae9 [...] star.le.ac.uk - Ticket created

Subject:	Error attaching multiple files with Net::SMTP::TLS
Date:	Thu, 02 Dec 2010 11:39:26 +0000

Hi, When I try to send an e-mail with multiple attachments through Net::SMTP::TLS, the attachments get corrupted. The error can be resolved by adding a single line to TLS.pm (by analogy with NET::SMTP) -- the error is in the "datasend" subroutine. Just after line 369 ($len -= $w;) add a new line: $offset += $w; And the problem is solved. N.B. I cannot gaurantee that this corruption always occurs, or is always solved by this fix. I am generating my email using MIME::Lite, and the as_string function, and then passing the output from as_string to Mail::SMTP::Datasend.

Not sure if this "please update" was aimed at me: I have no ownership of, or involvement in, the packages so am not in a position to update them myself. Phil On 06/01/11 23:38, https://me.yahoo.com/a/Q9H15looh9TPHroPGifYxHw5d.E-#41572 via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Could someone please update this module? Everytime I set up a new server and install this package I ran into the same issue ... that's really annoying ;-) So please update it. Thank you very much. Cheers, Olli
