Subject: Unable to call open
Passing a flattened out hash gets not-a-hashref error; passing hashref gets fatal error. Tried using v5.16.2 & v5.18.0. Example from 5.18.0: lembark@bird:tmp $ perl -MMail::Mailer -d -E 0 Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.39_09 Editor support available. Enter h or 'h h' for help, or 'man perldebug' for more help. main::(-e:1): 0 DB<2> x $m = Mail::Mailer->new( 'smtp' ); 0 Mail::Mailer::smtp=GLOB(0x277b440) -> *Symbol::GEN1 DB<3> x $m->open( qw( To 3147573477@tmomail.com From lembark@wrkhors.com Subject: test of email ) ); Can't use string ("To") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /opt/perl/5.18/lib/site_perl/5.18.0/Mail/Mailer.pm line 187.

Is is documented that you need to pass a HASH. Show quoted text
> DB<3> x $m->open( qw( To 3147573477@tmomail.com From lembark@wrkhors.com Subject: test of email ) ); > Can't use string ("To") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /opt/perl/5.18/lib/site_perl/5.18.0/Mail/Mailer.pm line 187.
The second error: Show quoted text
> DB<4> x $m->open( { qw( To 3147573477@tmomail.com From lembark@wrkhors.com Subject: test of email ) } ); > Died at /opt/perl/5.18/lib/site_perl/5.18.0/Mail/Mailer.pm line 158.
is on $self->exec($exe, $args, \@to, $sender) or die $!; which has nothing to do with the HASH, but with the exec. Apparently the $exe cannot be started. The $exe the the mail-client, usually sendmail. It is not related to the open() itself. I will extend the text of the error message. -- Success.

One suggestion: add something like $mailer->working( 'smtp' ) that can return true if the $exe argument is usable. -- Steven Lembark 3646 Flora Pl Workhorse Computing St Louis, MO 63110 lembark@wrkhors.com +1 888 359 3508

The first 60 lines of the module already tries to come with a usable script, so I wonder why that did not work in your case. People will not use such a method. Mail::Tools is one of the oldest modules on CPAN, and not of my hand. Apparently it works for most people the way it is. -- Regards, MarkOv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overmeer MSc MARKOV Solutions Mark@Overmeer.net solutions@overmeer.net http://Mark.Overmeer.net http://solutions.overmeer.net
