NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9         require Mail::Send;
10
11         $msg = Mail::Send->new;
12         $msg = Mail::Send->new(Subject => 'example', To => 'timbo');
13
14         $msg->to('user@host');
15         $msg->to('user@host', 'user2@example.com');
16         $msg->subject('example subject');
17         $msg->cc('user@host');
18         $msg->bcc('someone@else');
19
20         $msg->set($header, @values);
21         $msg->add($header, @values);
22         $msg->delete($header);
23
24         # Launch mailer and set headers. The filehandle returned
25         # by open() is an instance of the Mail::Mailer class.
26         # Arguments to the open() method are passed to the Mail::Mailer
27         # constructor.
28
29         $fh = $msg->open;   # some default mailer
30         $fh = $msg->open('sendmail'); # explicit
31         print $fh "Body of message";
32         $fh->close          # complete the message and send it
33             or die "couldn't send whole message: $!\n";

DESCRIPTION

36       Mail::Send creates e-mail messages without using the Mail::Header
37       knowledge, which means that all escaping and folding must be done by
38       you!  Simplicity has its price.

METHODS

43   Constructors
44       Mail::Send->new(PAIRS)
45           A list of header fields (provided as key-value PAIRS) can be used
46           to initialize the object.
47
48   Header fields
49       $obj->add($fieldname, @values)
50           Add values to the list of defined values for the $fieldname.
51
52       $obj->bcc(@values)
53       $obj->cc(@values)
54       $obj->delete($fieldname)
55       $obj->set($fieldname, @values)
56           The @values will replace the old values for the $fieldname.
57           Returned is the LIST of values after modification.
58
59       $obj->subject(@values)
60       $obj->to(@values)
61
62   Sending
63       $obj->open(%options)
64           The %options are used to initiate a mailer object via
65           Mail::Mailer::new().  Then Mail::Mailer::open() is called with the
66           knowledge collected in this Mail::Send object.
