I see that you have moved on to other packages, but just thought that
I'd mention that I got this error executing a Perl system call using the
development server because Catalyst::Engine::HTTP contains:
local $SIG{CHLD} = 'IGNORE';
Commenting this line out makes the error go away. I have no idea if
there are other downstream issues. But the non-development servers don't
do this, so you won't get the error there.

Re: [Catalyst] Sending email from a Catalyst app
From: ivorw [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I know there's more than one way to do this. I'm looking at what the
best practice is.
I've had some success inthe past with Catalyst::Plugin::Email, but I'm
now looking at Catalyst::View::Email[::Template] which seems altogether
much cleaner, able to be controlled from the config.
A more cleaner and better solution is to use Mail::Sender::Easy.
You can create UTF-8 encoded messages, include attachments, inline images,
create messages with a text and an html part, and if you use MIME::Words you
can also use special chars in To, From and Subject fields or other headers.
You can do:
use Mail::Sender::Easy qw(email);
use MIME::Words qw(:all);
email({
fromaddr = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
from = 'My Name [EMAIL PROTECTED]',
toaddr = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
to = encode_mimewords('Your Name with special chars [EMAIL PROTECTED]',
Charset = UTF-8),
subject = 'The subject',
smtp = '127.0.0.1',
#auth = 'LOGIN',
#authid = user,
#authpwd = password,
#skip_bad_recipients = 1,
_text = 'The text body',
_html = 'The bhtml/b body',
_text_info = {charset = UTF-8},
_html_info = {charset = UTF-8},
#priority = 2, # 1-5 high to low
#confirm = 'delivery, reading',
_attachments = {
'smiley.gif' = {
_disptype = 'GIF Image',
_inline = 'smile1',
description = 'Smiley',
ctype = 'image/gif',
file = '/home/foo/images/smiley.gif',
},
'mydata.pdf' = {
description = 'Data Sheet',
ctype = 'application/pdf',
msg = 'message',
},
},
}) or die $@;
It would be also nice a Catalyst::Plugin::Mail or Catalyst::View::Mail that
uses Mail::Sender::Easy and MIME::Words, but using those modules directly is
very easy and doesn't require writing much code anyway.
And of course, Mail::Sender::Easy offers much many options than those shown.

I can now see that my original impression of C::V::E as being a cleaner interface, was wrong. I'll go back to using C::P::E Cheers, Ivor. ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
