INHERITANCE

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

METHODS

44   Constructors
45       Mail::Send->new(PAIRS)
46
47           A list of header fields (provided as key-value PAIRS) can be used
48           to initialize the object.
49
50   Header fields
51       $obj->add(FIELDNAME, VALUES)
52
53           Add values to the list of defined values for the FIELDNAME.
54
55       $obj->bcc(VALUES)
56
57       $obj->cc(VALUES)
58
59       $obj->delete(FIELDNAME)
60
61       $obj->set(FIELDNAME, VALUES)
62
63           VALUES will replace the old values for the FIELDNAME.  Returned is
64           the LIST of values after modification.
65
66       $obj->subject(VALUES)
67
68       $obj->to(VALUES)
69
70   Sending
71       $obj->open(OPTIONS)
72
73           The OPTIONS are used to initiate a mailer object via
74           Mail::Mailer::new().  Then Mail::Mailer::open() is called with the
75           knowledge collected in this Mail::Send object.
