Try something like this (you'll need to get your @args adjusted):
use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Lite;
my $message = "Sending test\n";
my $from_address = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
my $to_address = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
my $subject = 'yadda yadda yah';
my $message_body = $message;
MIME::Lite->send('smtp', 'mymailserver.mynetwork.com', Timeout => 60);
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From => $from_address,
To => $to_address,
Subject => $subject,
Data => $message_body,
) or die "Error creating MIME body: $!";
eval { $msg->send; };
if ($@) {
print "Failed to send: $! ($^E)";
} else {
print "message sent\n";
}
__END__
