Re: Mod_Perl and Net::SMTP

[Guy Alston]

First of all thanks to everyone who has responded.  I've run a few more test and the problem is clearly around "MOD_Perl". I've load an SMTP server on the same system where I'm running the apache server and the scripts fail to establish a session. I'm able to run those scripts same scripts successfully from the console using the Netware Perl Interpreter. Both the Apache MOD_PERL and Netware NLM are 5.8.4  version of Perl.  I'm running apache 2.0.59.  on Netware 6.5 sp6.           >>> Philip M.

You could add local $SIG{__WARN__} = \&Carp::cluck; local $SIG{__DIE__}  = \&Carp::confess; This will help tell you where in Net::SMTP you are having a problem. Once you know that, you can try to fix it. OR this works -- use MIME::Lite (); sub email {      my %args = @_;      my $email = MIME::Lite->new( Type => 'multipart/mixed' );      $email->add(To      => $args{to});      $email->add(BCC     => $args{bcc});      $email->add(From    => $args{from});      $email->add(Subject => $args{subject});      $email->attach(Type => "TEXT", Data ="" $args{data});      MIME::Lite->send('smtp', SMTP_HOST, Timeout => 5);      eval { $email->send };      return $@; } >  > I tried many different scripts but it always seems to be a problem > around the object  utilizing "Net::SMTP;.  Is there a known issue with > this. My version of MOD_PERL is 1.01.00 Was I even alive when this version of mod_perl was out ? Given that, more importantly, what version of perl are you using ?
