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.

[Catalyst] Sending email from a Catalyst app
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. The only trouble is I'm struggling to get it working. Using Sendmail as the mailer sends the mail out - I receive it no problem, but the application gets an exception error when closing pipe to /usr/bin/sendmail. No child processes ... I've tried switching to using SMTP instead, and the application now doesn't crash, but I get no email received. Is there a simple example that somebody can point me towards? Am I missing some parameters in mailer_args? (This seems to be poorly documented) Is there a better module I should be using?

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/
