We need to back up a bit. What OS are you running on? As I stated in an earlier reply, Mail::Send requires access to a mail client (such as mail or mailx on *NIX system). If you're running on a Windows system, that's a whole other ball game. Please provide your OS specifics and the entire script that you wrote. > > I am just perl beginner and doing bioperl most of time and it would cost > me 6 months at least to > read the Camel book.

Be careful when making assumptions and sweeping statements. ;) From my experience, many Perlers in fact do like to know how things work under the hood. I for one would like to write a module of my own one day; reading through a module's code helps me to understand how to go about doing that. ry > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
