RE: sending an email to a email address after a perl operation

2003-04-04 Thread Dan Muey
 Hi,

Howdy again, still working on this huh?

 
 I have a script named renamer.pl that takes images from a 
 directory and 
 renames images and stores image meta information in a mysql. 
 i also have a 
 script that sends an email notification when excecuted to a 
 desired email 
 address.
 
 is there away that i could combine the 2 scripts together, so 
 when the meta 
 information are inserted into MySQL, an email is sent to me.

Sure.

#!/usr/bin/perl

...code that inserts into mysql ...

...code that sends mail ...


Ta Da! One script

DMuey

 i tried this and this is what i got:
 
 Global symbol $smtp requires explicit package name at 

Make 
$smtp = ...

my $smtp = ...

There was a thread earlier today about namespaces. Check out the archive it was quite 
informative.

 rename.pl line 140. Global symbol $smtp requires explicit 
 package name at rename.pl line 143. Global symbol $smtp 
 requires explicit package name at rename.pl line 151. Global

thanks Dan,

sorry for forgetting to send to list.

the email script works alone, as it is, so maybe it is something else.

Regards,

Mel

Hi Mel,

Since your two scripts were developoed separately, you might want to add
use strict;
to emailtest.pl, and work on that until it compiles cleanly.  These errors
indicate that you are not declaring your variables properly.  Once that script
compiles cleanly, you could integrate the code from renamerr.pl into it.

I would say that you are also pushing the limits of what you can sensibly do
with scripting.  If you wish to be able to develop complicated processes, you
should really learn how to write subroutines and functions.

perldoc perlsub
perldoc perlref
perldoc perlreftut

Hint: If the code in renamer was properly packaged within functions, you would
not have to cut and paste code.  You could use renamer as a module, and call
functions from it in other scripts.

Joseph
