It should be in /Library/Perl/Mail/ - on Panther, /Library/Perl/5.8.1/Mail/. You *did* install it according to the directions, right? The directions are found in 'perldoc perlmodinstall' - as far as these directions are concerned, you're using a UNIX machine. The Mac directions are for MacPerl running on classic MacOS, not for Mac OS X. The Sendmail I am using is http://alma.ch/perl/mail.htm and is on CPAN. As I said before - the module that's listed at that URL, and listed on CPAN, is not named just Sendmail - it's name is Mail::Sendmail. From your first message: because this is the line that fails: $err = Error sending mail: $Mail::SendMail::error unless sendmail(%mail); The above will fail because you're referring to $Mail::SendMail::error, and there is no such module and no such variable. As I said before, case is important. The module, and the package it's in, is called Mail::Sendmail - not Mail::SendMail. Can I check these Perl scripts on my client machine ( i.e. no Apache installed) Why is there no Apache installed? Did you remove it from your machine? If not, it's there - every OS X includes it. Just go to the System Preferences, and under the Sharing pane, enable Web Sharing. (Personal Web Sharing on Panther). It's also useful to open /var/log/httpd/error_log in the Console.app - any error messages produced by your CGI script are logged there. So far, I get the same error on the client machine as I get from the server. It would be helpful if you'd include the error message. Don't try to re-type it, or any code - copy and paste, to reduce the chance of typos. It would also be helpful reduce the problem to the smallest possible program that shows the error, and post that. For example, try running just the example given in 'perldoc Mail::Sendmail' from a command line, and see if that produces an error. If it does, post the test script and error message here. If the sample script doesn't produce an error, then you know that the module is installed and working correctly. In that case, you need to find where your script does something different from the sample. sherm--
installing PerlMagick
I'm having trouble installing PerlMagick--hope someone can help. Details are below. I should confess that I'm new to installing unix software so I'm probably overlooking something completely obvious. Running OSX 10.3.2. Perl 5.8.3 is installed in /usr/local, overriding Apple's default Perl. ImageMagick 5.5.6 is installed (from source) via fink in /sw, and works from the command line. Downloaded ImageMagick 5.5.6 manually from their web site, just to get PerlMagick, then edited Makefile.PL to add the /sw directories: 'INC' = '-I../ -I.. -I/sw/include/freetype2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include/libxml2 -I/sw/include', 'LIBS' = ['-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/sw/lib -lMagick -llcms -ltiff -lfreetype -ljasper -ljpeg -lpng -lXext -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -lm -ldpstk'], Then tried to build PerlMagick as follows: WS0010062749:~/downloads/ImageMagick-5.5.6/PerlMagick dschroeder$ perl Makefile.PL Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ljasper Writing Makefile for Image::Magick WS0010062749:~/downloads/ImageMagick-5.5.6/PerlMagick dschroeder$ make cc -c -I../ -I.. -I/sw/include/freetype2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include/libxml2 -I/sw/include -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing -Os -DVERSION=\5.56\ -DXS_VERSION=\5.56\ -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/darwin-2level/CORE -DHAVE_CONFIG_H Magick.c Running Mkbootstrap for Image::Magick () chmod 644 Magick.bs rm -f blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.bundle LD_RUN_PATH=/sw/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup Magick.o -o blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.bundle -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/sw/lib -lMagick -llcms -ltiff -lfreetype -ljpeg -lpng -lXext -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lbz2 -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -lm -ldpstk chmod 755 blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.bundle cp Magick.bs blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.bs chmod 644 blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.bs Manifying blib/man3/Image::Magick.3 /usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib Makefile2.PL Makefile2 Writing Makefile for Image::Magick /usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib MakefileOld.PL MakefileOld Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lMagick Note (probably harmless): No library found for -llcms Writing Makefile for Image::Magick WS0010062749:~/downloads/ImageMagick-5.5.6/PerlMagick dschroeder$ sudo make install Password: cc -c -I../ -I.. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing -Os -DVERSION=\5.56\ -DXS_VERSION=\5.56\ -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/darwin-2level/CORE -DHAVE_CONFIG_H Magick.c In file included from Magick.xs:81: ../magick/api.h:15:36: magick/magick_config.h: No such file or directory ../magick/api.h:27:19: types.h: No such file or directory make: *** [Magick.o] Error 1 Note the error messages at the end.

Re: sending to Mail.app - pkg installer error
Greetings, One of the people on this list, Wilfredo Sánchez, recommended that I use the mailapp-utitities. This seems exactly what I am looking for. They are four small programs and they are put together in a package installer bundle. Only thing is that the package installer won't install. Here is the error message, from Package Installer: Missing or Old Bill of Materials. I know that this is not the normal thing for this list, but I know that it seems like it would be easy to fix and that the person who is supposed to be maintaining it is not to be found. Thank you, Joe.

I couldn't get any of the unix mail stuff to work, probably because I do not have sendmail running for security concerns reasons. (I dial up a few times a day). I figured out where Mail.app was storing it's text and I was able to append stuff on the end of the file and that worked only half and half. Apparently, the indexed get messed up and Mail.app crashes now and then. Then I created a new mailbox and append email to that, and that solves the crashing part, but the messages aren't flagged as new, and I sometimes miss them. I can think of two different ways to handle this, 1) using Mac::Glue to cause Mail.app to send a message out to myself, or 2) append to the end of the inbox file and then use Mac:Glue to update the indexes. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Joe Alotta

At any rate, the OP is almost certainly using Mail::Sendmail. He's

checking for an error in $Mail::Sendmail::error - it's more or less
straight out of the Mail::Sendmail docs.

If he mistakenly drag-n-dropped the Sendmail.pm file into the wrong

the file and require() it, but because the code in the file is actually
in the Mail::Sendmail package, the call to Sendmail::import() fails, so
sendmail() isn't imported into main.
Another reason I believe it's a drag-n-drop error is that, just last
week, the same person had the same problem, although with different
symptoms - he had drag-n-dropped a .pm file for a module that has some
compiled C functions, and was wondering why he was getting errors about

Re: Undefined subroutine main::sendmail
I went back and removed files and then tried a clean install of
Mail-Sendmail-0.78.tar.
I had tried different versions of SendMail and had made many erroneous
assumptions about compatibility of the Sendmail packages, including the
one John mentioned at http://www.tneoh.zoneit.com/perl/SendMail/.
I carefully set case awareness between Sendmail and cwdmail.cgi. My
original install notes sent to me by an anonymous friend had me doing
a drag-n-drop install. So I believe that Sherm correctly identified one
(of the many) problems, being the drag-n-drop.
Well, I actually did get the mail sent from the HTML form on page
http://www.cascadewebdesign.com/contact.html
as desired.
The HTML page, though, is then filled with errors, so the form
submitter is not aware of the success. Try the page if you wish to see
the errors. Here's one of 5.
*
Can't locate loadable object for module MIME::Base64 in @INC (@INC
contains: /System/Library/Perl/darwin /System/Library/Perl
/Library/Perl/darwin /Library/Perl /Library/Perl
/Network/Library/Perl/darwin /Network/Library/Perl
/Network/Library/Perl .) at /Library/Perl/MIME/QuotedPrint.pm line 14
*
I do have some version of Base64.pm and QuotedPrint.pm in
/Library/Perl/MIME/
More notes: my server is using Jaguar so the path is
/Library/Perl/Mail/, my client is Panther and I will re-try there
with the install going into /Library/Perl/5.8.1/Mail. Note: you must
log in as root to do the Mail-Sendmail-0.78.tar install.
The errors most certainly relate to the way Base64 and QuotedPrint were
installed, now if I can just find the versions of those modules to go
with my current version of Sendmail.
Thanks for all the help,
Baiss

[snipped description of errors] The errors most certainly relate to the way Base64 and QuotedPrint were installed, now if I can just find the versions of those modules to go with my current version of Sendmail. This is where you missed a key bit of advice -- have the CPAN do the installation for you. Many Perl modules have dependencies on other modules, which themselves may have dependencies. In your Terminal, type 'cpan' without the quotes. You'll get the CPAN shell, and the first time you'll be taken through its configuration. On Panther/darwin, you can safely accept the config defaults (when picking archive sites, stick to your own continent). At the cpan shell prompt, type 'h' (no quotes) to see the available commands. Here's what will work most times: 1. at the cpan shell prompt, type 'i' and the name of the module as a regular expression, and hit return (you'll get something like what follows here: cpan i /Mail::Sendmail/ Module Mail::Sendmail (M/MI/MIVKOVIC/Mail-Sendmail-0.79.tar.gz) Module Tindermail::Sendmail (Z/ZL/ZLIPTON/Devel-Tinderclient-1.2.zip) 2 items found OK, the first one looks like what we want. For more info, search on /Mail-Sendmail/ , which will match the filename of the archive. cpan i /Mail-Sendmail/ Distribution id = M/MI/MIVKOVIC/Mail-Sendmail-0.79.tar.gz CPAN_USERID MIVKOVIC (Milivoj Ivkovic [EMAIL PROTECTED]) CALLED_FOR M/MI/MIVKOVIC/Mail-Sendmail-0.79.tar.gz CONTAINSMODS Mail::Sendmail MD5_STATUS OK archived tar build_dir/Users/bva/.cpan/build/Mail-Sendmail-0.79 incommandcolor 0 install YES localfile /Users/bva/.cpan/sources/authors/id/M/MI/MIVKOVIC/Mail-Sendmail-0.79.tar .gz make YES make_testYES prereq_pm prereq_pm_detected 1 unwrappedYES writemakefile YES Yes, that's it. Now, copy the Distribution id, type 'install ' at the cpan prompt, paste in the id, and press return: cpan install M/MI/MIVKOVIC/Mail-Sendmail-0.79.tar.gz CPAN will do the necessary prerequisite (dependency) checks, downloads, unpacks, etc., for you. Just watch it go by. Then, when everything it needs is there, it will make, test, and install the module. If something isn't right, test, make, make test, or make install will fail and let you know what happened. Send THAT to this list for advice. At that point you and we will have a much better of solving any problems. I just did it on Panther 10.3.2. I allowed Mail::Sendmail to install without changing the test script, test.pl. Copying the sample in the README (also at http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Mail/Mail-Sendmail-0.79.readme), I wrote this script (substitute your own to, from, and smtp server.): #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Mail::Sendmail; my %mail = ( To = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', From= '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', Message = This is a very short message, smtp= 'my.mail-smtp.server.com', ); sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error; print OK.
