6 MIME::Lite - low-calorie MIME generator
7
9 MIME::Lite is not recommended by its current maintainer. There are a
10 number of alternatives, like Email::MIME or MIME::Entity and
11 Email::Sender, which you should probably use instead. MIME::Lite
12 continues to accrue weird bug reports, and it is not receiving a large
13 amount of refactoring due to the availability of better alternatives.
14 Please consider using something else.

17 Create and send using the default send method for your OS a single-part
18 message:
19 use MIME::Lite;
21 ### Create a new single-part message, to send a GIF file:
22 $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
23 From => 'me@myhost.com',
24 To => 'you@yourhost.com',
25 Cc => 'some@other.com, some@more.com',
26 Subject => 'Helloooooo, nurse!',
27 Type => 'image/gif',
28 Encoding => 'base64',
29 Path => 'hellonurse.gif'
30 );
31 $msg->send; # send via default
32 Create a multipart message (i.e., one with attachments) and send it via
34 SMTP
35 ### Create a new multipart message:
37 $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
38 From => 'me@myhost.com',
39 To => 'you@yourhost.com',
40 Cc => 'some@other.com, some@more.com',
41 Subject => 'A message with 2 parts...',
42 Type => 'multipart/mixed'
43 );
44 ### Add parts (each "attach" has same arguments as "new"):
46 $msg->attach(
47 Type => 'TEXT',
48 Data => "Here's the GIF file you wanted"
49 );
50 $msg->attach(
51 Type => 'image/gif',
52 Path => 'aaa000123.gif',
53 Filename => 'logo.gif',
54 Disposition => 'attachment'
55 );
56 ### use Net::SMTP to do the sending
57 $msg->send('smtp','some.host', Debug=>1 );
58 Output a message:
60 ### Format as a string:
62 $str = $msg->as_string;
63 ### Print to a filehandle (say, a "sendmail" stream):
65 $msg->print(\*SENDMAIL);
66 Send a message:
68 ### Send in the "best" way (the default is to use "sendmail"):
70 $msg->send;
71 ### Send a specific way:
72 $msg->send('type',@args);
73 Specify default send method:
75 MIME::Lite->send('smtp','some.host',Debug=>0);
77 with authentication
79 MIME::Lite->send('smtp','some.host', AuthUser=>$user, AuthPass=>$pass);
81 using SSL
83 MIME::Lite->send('smtp','some.host', SSL => 1, Port => 465 );
85
87 In the never-ending quest for great taste with fewer calories, we
88 proudly present: MIME::Lite.
89 MIME::Lite is intended as a simple, standalone module for generating
91 (not parsing!) MIME messages... specifically, it allows you to output a
92 simple, decent single- or multi-part message with text or binary
93 attachments. It does not require that you have the Mail:: or MIME::
94 modules installed, but will work with them if they are.
95 You can specify each message part as either the literal data itself (in
97 a scalar or array), or as a string which can be given to open() to get
98 a readable filehandle (e.g., "<filename" or "somecommand|").
99 You don't need to worry about encoding your message data: this module
101 will do that for you. It handles the 5 standard MIME encodings.
102
104 Create a simple message containing just text
105 $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
106 From =>'me@myhost.com',
107 To =>'you@yourhost.com',
108 Cc =>'some@other.com, some@more.com',
109 Subject =>'Helloooooo, nurse!',
110 Data =>"How's it goin', eh?"
111 );
112 Create a simple message containing just an image
114 $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
115 From =>'me@myhost.com',
116 To =>'you@yourhost.com',
117 Cc =>'some@other.com, some@more.com',
118 Subject =>'Helloooooo, nurse!',
119 Type =>'image/gif',
120 Encoding =>'base64',
121 Path =>'hellonurse.gif'
122 );
123 Create a multipart message
125 ### Create the multipart "container":
126 $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
127 From =>'me@myhost.com',
128 To =>'you@yourhost.com',
129 Cc =>'some@other.com, some@more.com',
130 Subject =>'A message with 2 parts...',
131 Type =>'multipart/mixed'
132 );
133 ### Add the text message part:
135 ### (Note that "attach" has same arguments as "new"):
136 $msg->attach(
137 Type =>'TEXT',
138 Data =>"Here's the GIF file you wanted"
139 );
140 ### Add the image part:
142 $msg->attach(
143 Type =>'image/gif',
144 Path =>'aaa000123.gif',
145 Filename =>'logo.gif',
146 Disposition => 'attachment'
147 );
148 Attach a GIF to a text message
150 This will create a multipart message exactly as above, but using the
151 "attach to singlepart" hack:
152 ### Start with a simple text message:
154 $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
155 From =>'me@myhost.com',
156 To =>'you@yourhost.com',
157 Cc =>'some@other.com, some@more.com',
158 Subject =>'A message with 2 parts...',
159 Type =>'TEXT',
160 Data =>"Here's the GIF file you wanted"
161 );
162 ### Attach a part... the make the message a multipart automatically:
164 $msg->attach(
165 Type =>'image/gif',
166 Path =>'aaa000123.gif',
167 Filename =>'logo.gif'
168 );
169 Attach a pre-prepared part to a message
171 ### Create a standalone part:
172 $part = MIME::Lite->new(
173 Top => 0,
174 Type =>'text/html',
175 Data =>'<H1>Hello</H1>',
176 );
177 $part->attr('content-type.charset' => 'UTF-8');
178 $part->add('X-Comment' => 'A message for you');
179 ### Attach it to any message:
181 $msg->attach($part);
182 Print a message to a filehandle
184 ### Write it to a filehandle:
185 $msg->print(\*STDOUT);
186 ### Write just the header:
188 $msg->print_header(\*STDOUT);
189 ### Write just the encoded body:
191 $msg->print_body(\*STDOUT);
192 Print a message into a string
194 ### Get entire message as a string:
195 $str = $msg->as_string;
196 ### Get just the header:
198 $str = $msg->header_as_string;
199 ### Get just the encoded body:
201 $str = $msg->body_as_string;
202 Send a message
204 ### Send in the "best" way (the default is to use "sendmail"):
205 $msg->send;
206 Send an HTML document... with images included!
208 $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
209 To =>'you@yourhost.com',
210 Subject =>'HTML with in-line images!',
211 Type =>'multipart/related'
212 );
213 $msg->attach(
214 Type => 'text/html',
215 Data => qq{
216 <body>
217 Here's <i>my</i> image:
218 <img src="cid:myimage.gif">
219 </body>
220 },
221 );
222 $msg->attach(
223 Type => 'image/gif',
224 Id => 'myimage.gif',
225 Path => '/path/to/somefile.gif',
226 );
227 $msg->send();
228 Change how messages are sent
230 ### Do something like this in your 'main':
231 if ($I_DONT_HAVE_SENDMAIL) {
232 MIME::Lite->send('smtp', $host, Timeout=>60,
233 AuthUser=>$user, AuthPass=>$pass);
234 }
235 ### Now this will do the right thing:
237 $msg->send; ### will now use Net::SMTP as shown above
238
240 Global configuration
241 To alter the way the entire module behaves, you have the following
242 methods/options:
243 MIME::Lite->field_order()
245 When used as a classmethod, this changes the default order in which
246 headers are output for all messages. However, please consider
247 using the instance method variant instead, so you won't stomp on
248 other message senders in the same application.
249 MIME::Lite->quiet()
251 This classmethod can be used to suppress/unsuppress all warnings
252 coming from this module.
253 MIME::Lite->send()
255 When used as a classmethod, this can be used to specify a different
256 default mechanism for sending message. The initial default is:
257 MIME::Lite->send("sendmail", "/usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi -oem");
259 However, you should consider the similar but smarter and taint-safe
261 variant:
262 MIME::Lite->send("sendmail");
264 Or, for non-Unix users:
266 MIME::Lite->send("smtp");
268 $MIME::Lite::AUTO_CC
270 If true, automatically send to the Cc/Bcc addresses for
271 send_by_smtp(). Default is true.
272 $MIME::Lite::AUTO_CONTENT_TYPE
274 If true, try to automatically choose the content type from the file
275 name in "new()"/"build()". In other words, setting this true
276 changes the default "Type" from "TEXT" to "AUTO".
277 Default is false, since we must maintain backwards-compatibility
279 with prior behavior. Please consider keeping it false, and just
280 using Type 'AUTO' when you build() or attach().
281 $MIME::Lite::AUTO_ENCODE
283 If true, automatically choose the encoding from the content type.
284 Default is true.
285 $MIME::Lite::AUTO_VERIFY
287 If true, check paths to attachments right before printing, raising
288 an exception if any path is unreadable. Default is true.
289 $MIME::Lite::PARANOID
291 If true, we won't attempt to use MIME::Base64, MIME::QuotedPrint,
292 or MIME::Types, even if they're available. Default is false.
293 Please consider keeping it false, and trusting these other packages
294 to do the right thing.
295 Construction
297 new [PARAMHASH]
298 Class method, constructor. Create a new message object.
299 If any arguments are given, they are passed into "build()";
301 otherwise, just the empty object is created.
302 attach PART
304 attach PARAMHASH...
305 Instance method. Add a new part to this message, and return the
306 new part.
307 If you supply a single PART argument, it will be regarded as a
309 MIME::Lite object to be attached. Otherwise, this method assumes
310 that you are giving in the pairs of a PARAMHASH which will be sent
311 into "new()" to create the new part.
312 One of the possibly-quite-useful hacks thrown into this is the
314 "attach-to-singlepart" hack: if you attempt to attach a part (let's
315 call it "part 1") to a message that doesn't have a content-type of
316 "multipart" or "message", the following happens:
317 · A new part (call it "part 0") is made.
319 · The MIME attributes and data (but not the other headers) are
321 cut from the "self" message, and pasted into "part 0".
322 · The "self" is turned into a "multipart/mixed" message.
324 · The new "part 0" is added to the "self", and then "part 1" is
326 added.
327 One of the nice side-effects is that you can create a text message
329 and then add zero or more attachments to it, much in the same way
330 that a user agent like Netscape allows you to do.
331 build [PARAMHASH]
333 Class/instance method, initializer. Create (or initialize) a MIME
334 message object. Normally, you'll use the following keys in
335 PARAMHASH:
336 * Data, FH, or Path (either one of these, or none if multipart)
338 * Type (e.g., "image/jpeg")
339 * From, To, and Subject (if this is the "top level" of a message)
340 The PARAMHASH can contain the following keys:
342 (fieldname)
344 Any field you want placed in the message header, taken from the
345 standard list of header fields (you don't need to worry about
346 case):
347 Approved Encrypted Received Sender
349 Bcc From References Subject
350 Cc Keywords Reply-To To
351 Comments Message-ID Resent-* X-*
352 Content-* MIME-Version Return-Path
353 Date Organization
354 To give experienced users some veto power, these fields will be
356 set after the ones I set... so be careful: don't set any MIME
357 fields (like "Content-type") unless you know what you're doing!
358 To specify a fieldname that's not in the above list, even one
360 that's identical to an option below, just give it with a
361 trailing ":", like "My-field:". When in doubt, that always
362 signals a mail field (and it sort of looks like one too).
363 Data
365 Alternative to "Path" or "FH". The actual message data. This
366 may be a scalar or a ref to an array of strings; if the latter,
367 the message consists of a simple concatenation of all the
368 strings in the array.
369 Datestamp
371 Optional. If given true (or omitted), we force the creation of
372 a "Date:" field stamped with the current date/time if this is a
373 top-level message. You may want this if using send_by_smtp().
374 If you don't want this to be done, either provide your own Date
375 or explicitly set this to false.
376 Disposition
378 Optional. The content disposition, "inline" or "attachment".
379 The default is "inline".
380 Encoding
382 Optional. The content transfer encoding that should be used to
383 encode your data:
384 Use encoding: | If your message contains:
386 ------------------------------------------------------------
387 7bit | Only 7-bit text, all lines <1000 characters
388 8bit | 8-bit text, all lines <1000 characters
389 quoted-printable | 8-bit text or long lines (more reliable than "8bit")
390 base64 | Largely non-textual data: a GIF, a tar file, etc.
391 The default is taken from the Type; generally it is "binary"
393 (no encoding) for text/*, message/*, and multipart/*, and
394 "base64" for everything else. A value of "binary" is generally
395 not suitable for sending anything but ASCII text files with
396 lines under 1000 characters, so consider using one of the other
397 values instead.
398 In the case of "7bit"/"8bit", long lines are automatically
400 chopped to legal length; in the case of "7bit", all 8-bit
401 characters are automatically removed. This may not be what you
402 want, so pick your encoding well! For more info, see "A MIME
403 PRIMER".
404 FH Alternative to "Data" or "Path". Filehandle containing the
406 data, opened for reading. See "ReadNow" also.
407 Filename
409 Optional. The name of the attachment. You can use this to
410 supply a recommended filename for the end-user who is saving
411 the attachment to disk. You only need this if the filename at
412 the end of the "Path" is inadequate, or if you're using "Data"
413 instead of "Path". You should not put path information in here
414 (e.g., no "/" or "\" or ":" characters should be used).
415 Id Optional. Same as setting "content-id".
417 Length
419 Optional. Set the content length explicitly. Normally, this
420 header is automatically computed, but only under certain
421 circumstances (see "Benign limitations").
422 Path
424 Alternative to "Data" or "FH". Path to a file containing the
425 data... actually, it can be any open()able expression. If it
426 looks like a path, the last element will automatically be
427 treated as the filename. See "ReadNow" also.
428 ReadNow
430 Optional, for use with "Path". If true, will open the path and
431 slurp the contents into core now. This is useful if the Path
432 points to a command and you don't want to run the command over
433 and over if outputting the message several times. Fatal
434 exception raised if the open fails.
435 Top Optional. If defined, indicates whether or not this is a "top-
437 level" MIME message. The parts of a multipart message are not
438 top-level. Default is true.
439 Type
441 Optional. The MIME content type, or one of these special
442 values (case-sensitive):
443 "TEXT" means "text/plain"
445 "BINARY" means "application/octet-stream"
446 "AUTO" means attempt to guess from the filename, falling back
447 to 'application/octet-stream'. This is good if you have
448 MIME::Types on your system and you have no idea what
449 file might be used for the attachment.
450 The default is "TEXT", but it will be "AUTO" if you set
452 $AUTO_CONTENT_TYPE to true (sorry, but you have to enable it
453 explicitly, since we don't want to break code which depends on
454 the old behavior).
455 A picture being worth 1000 words (which is of course 2000 bytes, so
457 it's probably more of an "icon" than a "picture", but I
458 digress...), here are some examples:
459 $msg = MIME::Lite->build(
461 From => 'yelling@inter.com',
462 To => 'stocking@fish.net',
463 Subject => "Hi there!",
464 Type => 'TEXT',
465 Encoding => '7bit',
466 Data => "Just a quick note to say hi!"
467 );
468 $msg = MIME::Lite->build(
470 From => 'dorothy@emerald-city.oz',
471 To => 'gesundheit@edu.edu.edu',
472 Subject => "A gif for U"
473 Type => 'image/gif',
474 Path => "/home/httpd/logo.gif"
475 );
476 $msg = MIME::Lite->build(
478 From => 'laughing@all.of.us',
479 To => 'scarlett@fiddle.dee.de',
480 Subject => "A gzipp'ed tar file",
481 Type => 'x-gzip',
482 Path => "gzip < /usr/inc/somefile.tar |",
483 ReadNow => 1,
484 Filename => "somefile.tgz"
485 );
486 To show you what's really going on, that last example could also
488 have been written:
489 $msg = new MIME::Lite;
491 $msg->build(
492 Type => 'x-gzip',
493 Path => "gzip < /usr/inc/somefile.tar |",
494 ReadNow => 1,
495 Filename => "somefile.tgz"
496 );
497 $msg->add(From => "laughing@all.of.us");
498 $msg->add(To => "scarlett@fiddle.dee.de");
499 $msg->add(Subject => "A gzipp'ed tar file");
500 Setting/getting headers and attributes
502 add TAG,VALUE
503 Instance method. Add field TAG with the given VALUE to the end of
504 the header. The TAG will be converted to all-lowercase, and the
505 VALUE will be made "safe" (returns will be given a trailing space).
506 Beware: any MIME fields you "add" will override any MIME attributes
508 I have when it comes time to output those fields. Normally, you
509 will use this method to add non-MIME fields:
510 $msg->add("Subject" => "Hi there!");
512 Giving VALUE as an arrayref will cause all those values to be
514 added. This is only useful for special multiple-valued fields like
515 "Received":
516 $msg->add("Received" => ["here", "there", "everywhere"]
518 Giving VALUE as the empty string adds an invisible placeholder to
520 the header, which can be used to suppress the output of the
521 "Content-*" fields or the special "MIME-Version" field. When
522 suppressing fields, you should use replace() instead of add():
523 $msg->replace("Content-disposition" => "");
525 Note: add() is probably going to be more efficient than
527 "replace()", so you're better off using it for most applications if
528 you are certain that you don't need to delete() the field first.
529 Note: the name comes from Mail::Header.
531 attr ATTR,[VALUE]
533 Instance method. Set MIME attribute ATTR to the string VALUE.
534 ATTR is converted to all-lowercase. This method is normally used
535 to set/get MIME attributes:
536 $msg->attr("content-type" => "text/html");
538 $msg->attr("content-type.charset" => "US-ASCII");
539 $msg->attr("content-type.name" => "homepage.html");
540 This would cause the final output to look something like this:
542 Content-type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII; name="homepage.html"
544 Note that the special empty sub-field tag indicates the anonymous
546 first sub-field.
547 Giving VALUE as undefined will cause the contents of the named
549 subfield to be deleted.
550 Supplying no VALUE argument just returns the attribute's value:
552 $type = $msg->attr("content-type"); ### returns "text/html"
554 $name = $msg->attr("content-type.name"); ### returns "homepage.html"
555 delete TAG
557 Instance method. Delete field TAG with the given VALUE to the end
558 of the header. The TAG will be converted to all-lowercase.
559 $msg->delete("Subject");
561 Note: the name comes from Mail::Header.
563 field_order FIELD,...FIELD
565 Class/instance method. Change the order in which header fields are
566 output for this object:
567 $msg->field_order('from', 'to', 'content-type', 'subject');
569 When used as a class method, changes the default settings for all
571 objects:
572 MIME::Lite->field_order('from', 'to', 'content-type', 'subject');
574 Case does not matter: all field names will be coerced to lowercase.
576 In either case, supply the empty array to restore the default
577 ordering.
578 fields
580 Instance method. Return the full header for the object, as a ref
581 to an array of "[TAG, VALUE]" pairs, where each TAG is all-
582 lowercase. Note that any fields the user has explicitly set will
583 override the corresponding MIME fields that we would otherwise
584 generate. So, don't say...
585 $msg->set("Content-type" => "text/html; charset=US-ASCII");
587 unless you want the above value to override the "Content-type" MIME
589 field that we would normally generate.
590 Note: I called this "fields" because the header() method of
592 Mail::Header returns something different, but similar enough to be
593 confusing.
594 You can change the order of the fields: see "field_order". You
596 really shouldn't need to do this, but some people have to deal with
597 broken mailers.
598 filename [FILENAME]
600 Instance method. Set the filename which this data will be reported
601 as. This actually sets both "standard" attributes.
602 With no argument, returns the filename as dictated by the content-
604 disposition.
605 get TAG,[INDEX]
607 Instance method. Get the contents of field TAG, which might have
608 been set with set() or replace(). Returns the text of the field.
609 $ml->get('Subject', 0);
611 If the optional 0-based INDEX is given, then we return the INDEX'th
613 occurrence of field TAG. Otherwise, we look at the context: In a
614 scalar context, only the first (0th) occurrence of the field is
615 returned; in an array context, all occurrences are returned.
616 Warning: this should only be used with non-MIME fields. Behavior
618 with MIME fields is TBD, and will raise an exception for now.
619 get_length
621 Instance method. Recompute the content length for the message if
622 the process is trivial, setting the "content-length" attribute as a
623 side-effect:
624 $msg->get_length;
626 Returns the length, or undefined if not set.
628 Note: the content length can be difficult to compute, since it
630 involves assembling the entire encoded body and taking the length
631 of it (which, in the case of multipart messages, means freezing all
632 the sub-parts, etc.).
633 This method only sets the content length to a defined value if the
635 message is a singlepart with "binary" encoding, and the body is
636 available either in-core or as a simple file. Otherwise, the
637 content length is set to the undefined value.
638 Since content-length is not a standard MIME field anyway (that's
640 right, kids: it's not in the MIME RFCs, it's an HTTP thing), this
641 seems pretty fair.
642 parts
644 Instance method. Return the parts of this entity, and this entity
645 only. Returns empty array if this entity has no parts.
646 This is not recursive! Parts can have sub-parts; use parts_DFS()
648 to get everything.
649 parts_DFS
651 Instance method. Return the list of all MIME::Lite objects
652 included in the entity, starting with the entity itself, in depth-
653 first-search order. If this object has no parts, it alone will be
654 returned.
655 preamble [TEXT]
657 Instance method. Get/set the preamble string, assuming that this
658 object has subparts. Set it to undef for the default string.
659 replace TAG,VALUE
661 Instance method. Delete all occurrences of fields named TAG, and
662 add a new field with the given VALUE. TAG is converted to all-
663 lowercase.
664 Beware the special MIME fields (MIME-version, Content-*): if you
666 "replace" a MIME field, the replacement text will override the
667 actual MIME attributes when it comes time to output that field. So
668 normally you use attr() to change MIME fields and add()/replace()
669 to change non-MIME fields:
670 $msg->replace("Subject" => "Hi there!");
672 Giving VALUE as the empty string will effectively prevent that
674 field from being output. This is the correct way to suppress the
675 special MIME fields:
676 $msg->replace("Content-disposition" => "");
678 Giving VALUE as undefined will just cause all explicit values for
680 TAG to be deleted, without having any new values added.
681 Note: the name of this method comes from Mail::Header.
683 scrub
685 Instance method. This is Alpha code. If you use it, please let me
686 know how it goes. Recursively goes through the "parts" tree of
687 this message and tries to find MIME attributes that can be removed.
688 With an array argument, removes exactly those attributes; e.g.:
689 $msg->scrub(['content-disposition', 'content-length']);
691 Is the same as recursively doing:
693 $msg->replace('Content-disposition' => '');
695 $msg->replace('Content-length' => '');
696 Setting/getting message data
698 binmode [OVERRIDE]
699 Instance method. With no argument, returns whether or not it
700 thinks that the data (as given by the "Path" argument of "build()")
701 should be read using binmode() (for example, when "read_now()" is
702 invoked).
703 The default behavior is that any content type other than "text/*"
705 or "message/*" is binmode'd; this should in general work fine.
706 With a defined argument, this method sets an explicit "override"
708 value. An undefined argument unsets the override. The new current
709 value is returned.
710 data [DATA]
712 Instance method. Get/set the literal DATA of the message. The
713 DATA may be either a scalar, or a reference to an array of scalars
714 (which will simply be joined).
715 Warning: setting the data causes the "content-length" attribute to
717 be recomputed (possibly to nothing).
718 fh [FILEHANDLE]
720 Instance method. Get/set the FILEHANDLE which contains the message
721 data.
722 Takes a filehandle as an input and stores it in the object. This
724 routine is similar to path(); one important difference is that no
725 attempt is made to set the content length.
726 path [PATH]
728 Instance method. Get/set the PATH to the message data.
729 Warning: setting the path recomputes any existing "content-length"
731 field, and re-sets the "filename" (to the last element of the path
732 if it looks like a simple path, and to nothing if not).
733 resetfh [FILEHANDLE]
735 Instance method. Set the current position of the filehandle back
736 to the beginning. Only applies if you used "FH" in build() or
737 attach() for this message.
738 Returns false if unable to reset the filehandle (since not all
740 filehandles are seekable).
741 read_now
743 Instance method. Forces data from the path/filehandle (as
744 specified by "build()") to be read into core immediately, just as
745 though you had given it literally with the "Data" keyword.
746 Note that the in-core data will always be used if available.
748 Be aware that everything is slurped into a giant scalar: you may
750 not want to use this if sending tar files! The benefit of not
751 reading in the data is that very large files can be handled by this
752 module if left on disk until the message is output via "print()" or
753 "print_body()".
754 sign PARAMHASH
756 Instance method. Sign the message. This forces the message to be
757 read into core, after which the signature is appended to it.
758 Data
760 As in "build()": the literal signature data. Can be either a
761 scalar or a ref to an array of scalars.
762 Path
764 As in "build()": the path to the file.
765 If no arguments are given, the default is:
767 Path => "$ENV{HOME}/.signature"
769 The content-length is recomputed.
771 verify_data
773 Instance method. Verify that all "paths" to attached data exist,
774 recursively. It might be a good idea for you to do this before a
775 print(), to prevent accidental partial output if a file might be
776 missing. Raises exception if any path is not readable.
777 Output
779 print [OUTHANDLE]
780 Instance method. Print the message to the given output handle, or
781 to the currently-selected filehandle if none was given.
782 All OUTHANDLE has to be is a filehandle (possibly a glob ref), or
784 any object that responds to a print() message.
785 print_body [OUTHANDLE] [IS_SMTP]
787 Instance method. Print the body of a message to the given output
788 handle, or to the currently-selected filehandle if none was given.
789 All OUTHANDLE has to be is a filehandle (possibly a glob ref), or
791 any object that responds to a print() message.
792 Fatal exception raised if unable to open any of the input files, or
794 if a part contains no data, or if an unsupported encoding is
795 encountered.
796 IS_SMPT is a special option to handle SMTP mails a little more
798 intelligently than other send mechanisms may require. Specifically
799 this ensures that the last byte sent is NOT '\n' (octal \012) if
800 the last two bytes are not '\r\n' (\015\012) as this will cause
801 some SMTP servers to hang.
802 print_header [OUTHANDLE]
804 Instance method. Print the header of the message to the given
805 output handle, or to the currently-selected filehandle if none was
806 given.
807 All OUTHANDLE has to be is a filehandle (possibly a glob ref), or
809 any object that responds to a print() message.
810 as_string
812 Instance method. Return the entire message as a string, with a
813 header and an encoded body.
814 body_as_string
816 Instance method. Return the encoded body as a string. This is the
817 portion after the header and the blank line.
818 Note: actually prepares the body by "printing" to a scalar. Proof
820 that you can hand the "print*()" methods any blessed object that
821 responds to a "print()" message.
822 header_as_string
824 Instance method. Return the header as a string.
825 Sending
827 send
828 send HOW, HOWARGS...
829 Class/instance method. This is the principal method for sending
830 mail, and for configuring how mail will be sent.
831 As a class method with a HOW argument and optional HOWARGS, it sets
833 the default sending mechanism that the no-argument instance method
834 will use. The HOW is a facility name (see below), and the HOWARGS
835 is interpreted by the facility. The class method returns the
836 previous HOW and HOWARGS as an array.
837 MIME::Lite->send('sendmail', "d:\\programs\\sendmail.exe");
839 ...
840 $msg = MIME::Lite->new(...);
841 $msg->send;
842 As an instance method with arguments (a HOW argument and optional
844 HOWARGS), sends the message in the requested manner; e.g.:
845 $msg->send('sendmail', "d:\\programs\\sendmail.exe");
847 As an instance method with no arguments, sends the message by the
849 default mechanism set up by the class method. Returns whatever the
850 mail-handling routine returns: this should be true on success,
851 false/exception on error:
852 $msg = MIME::Lite->new(From=>...);
854 $msg->send || die "you DON'T have mail!";
855 On Unix systems (or rather non-Win32 systems), the default setting
857 is equivalent to:
858 MIME::Lite->send("sendmail", "/usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi -oem");
860 On Win32 systems the default setting is equivalent to:
862 MIME::Lite->send("smtp");
864 The assumption is that on Win32 your site/lib/Net/libnet.cfg file
866 will be preconfigured to use the appropriate SMTP server. See below
867 for configuring for authentication.
868 There are three facilities:
870 "sendmail", ARGS...
872 Send a message by piping it into the "sendmail" command. Uses
873 the send_by_sendmail() method, giving it the ARGS. This usage
874 implements (and deprecates) the "sendmail()" method.
875 "smtp", [HOSTNAME, [NAMEDPARMS] ]
877 Send a message by SMTP, using optional HOSTNAME as SMTP-sending
878 host. Net::SMTP will be required. Uses the send_by_smtp()
879 method. Any additional arguments passed in will also be passed
880 through to send_by_smtp. This is useful for things like mail
881 servers requiring authentication where you can say something
882 like the following
883 MIME::Lite->send('smtp', $host, AuthUser=>$user, AuthPass=>$pass);
885 which will configure things so future uses of
887 $msg->send();
889 do the right thing.
891 "sub", \&SUBREF, ARGS...
893 Sends a message MSG by invoking the subroutine SUBREF of your
894 choosing, with MSG as the first argument, and ARGS following.
895 For example: let's say you're on an OS which lacks the usual Unix
897 "sendmail" facility, but you've installed something a lot like it,
898 and you need to configure your Perl script to use this
899 "sendmail.exe" program. Do this following in your script's setup:
900 MIME::Lite->send('sendmail', "d:\\programs\\sendmail.exe");
902 Then, whenever you need to send a message $msg, just say:
904 $msg->send;
906 That's it. Now, if you ever move your script to a Unix box, all
908 you need to do is change that line in the setup and you're done.
909 All of your $msg->send invocations will work as expected.
910 After sending, the method last_send_successful() can be used to
912 determine if the send was successful or not.
913 send_by_sendmail SENDMAILCMD
915 send_by_sendmail PARAM=>VALUE, ARRAY, HASH...
916 Instance method. Send message via an external "sendmail" program
917 (this will probably only work out-of-the-box on Unix systems).
918 Returns true on success, false or exception on error.
920 You can specify the program and all its arguments by giving a
922 single string, SENDMAILCMD. Nothing fancy is done; the message is
923 simply piped in.
924 However, if your needs are a little more advanced, you can specify
926 zero or more of the following PARAM/VALUE pairs (or a reference to
927 hash or array of such arguments as well as any combination
928 thereof); a Unix-style, taint-safe "sendmail" command will be
929 constructed for you:
930 Sendmail
932 Full path to the program to use. Default is
933 "/usr/lib/sendmail".
934 BaseArgs
936 Ref to the basic array of arguments we start with. Default is
937 "["-t", "-oi", "-oem"]".
938 SetSender
940 Unless this is explicitly given as false, we attempt to
941 automatically set the "-f" argument to the first address that
942 can be extracted from the "From:" field of the message (if
943 there is one).
944 What is the -f, and why do we use it? Suppose we did not use
946 "-f", and you gave an explicit "From:" field in your message:
947 in this case, the sendmail "envelope" would indicate the real
948 user your process was running under, as a way of preventing
949 mail forgery. Using the "-f" switch causes the sender to be
950 set in the envelope as well.
951 So when would I NOT want to use it? If sendmail doesn't regard
953 you as a "trusted" user, it will permit the "-f" but also add
954 an "X-Authentication-Warning" header to the message to indicate
955 a forged envelope. To avoid this, you can either (1) have
956 SetSender be false, or (2) make yourself a trusted user by
957 adding a "T" configuration
958 command to your sendmail.cf file
959 (e.g.: "Teryq" if the script is running as user "eryq").
960 FromSender
962 If defined, this is identical to setting SetSender to true,
963 except that instead of looking at the "From:" field we use the
964 address given by this option. Thus:
965 FromSender => 'me@myhost.com'
967 After sending, the method last_send_successful() can be used to
969 determine if the send was successful or not.
970 send_by_smtp HOST, ARGS...
972 send_by_smtp REF, HOST, ARGS
973 Instance method. Send message via SMTP, using Net::SMTP -- which
974 will be required for this feature.
975 HOST is the name of SMTP server to connect to, or undef to have
977 Net::SMTP use the defaults in Libnet.cfg.
978 ARGS are a list of key value pairs which may be selected from the
980 list below. Many of these are just passed through to specific
981 Net::SMTP commands and you should review that module for details.
982 Please see Good-vs-bad email addresses with send_by_smtp()

999 See Net::SMTP::mail() for details.
1000 SkipBad
1002 If true doesn't throw an error when multiple email addresses
1003 are provided and some are not valid. See Net::SMTP::recipient()
1004 for details.
1005 AuthUser
1007 Authenticate with Net::SMTP::auth() using this username.
1008 AuthPass
1010 Authenticate with Net::SMTP::auth() using this password.
1011 NoAuth
1013 Normally if AuthUser and AuthPass are defined MIME::Lite will
1014 attempt to use them with the Net::SMTP::auth() command to
1015 authenticate the connection, however if this value is true then
1016 no authentication occurs.
1017 To Sets the addresses to send to. Can be a string or a reference
1019 to an array of strings. Normally this is extracted from the To:
1020 (and Cc: and Bcc: fields if $AUTO_CC is true).
1021 This value overrides that.
1023 From
1025 Sets the email address to send from. Normally this value is
1026 extracted from the Return-Path: or From: field of the mail
1027 itself (in that order).
1028 This value overrides that.
1030 Returns: True on success, croaks with an error message on failure.
1032 After sending, the method last_send_successful() can be used to
1034 determine if the send was successful or not.
1035 send_by_testfile FILENAME
1037 Instance method. Print message to a file (namely FILENAME), which
1038 will default to mailer.testfile If file exists, message will be
1039 appended.
1040 last_send_successful
1042 This method will return TRUE if the last send() or send_by_XXX()
1043 method call was successful. It will return defined but false if it
1044 was not successful, and undefined if the object had not been used
1045 to send yet.
1046 sendmail COMMAND...
1048 Class method, DEPRECATED. Declare the sender to be "sendmail", and
1049 set up the "sendmail" command. You should use send() instead.
1050 Miscellaneous
1052 quiet ONOFF
1053 Class method. Suppress/unsuppress all warnings coming from this
1054 module.
1055 MIME::Lite->quiet(1); ### I know what I'm doing
1057 I recommend that you include that comment as well. And while you
1059 type it, say it out loud: if it doesn't feel right, then maybe you
1060 should reconsider the whole line. ";-)"
1061
1063 How do I prevent "Content" headers from showing up in my mail reader?
1064 Apparently, some people are using mail readers which display the MIME
1065 headers like "Content-disposition", and they want MIME::Lite not to
1066 generate them "because they look ugly".
1067 Sigh.
1069 Y'know, kids, those headers aren't just there for cosmetic purposes.
1071 They help ensure that the message is understood correctly by mail
1072 readers. But okay, you asked for it, you got it... here's how you can
1073 suppress the standard MIME headers. Before you send the message, do
1074 this:
1075 $msg->scrub;
1077 You can scrub() any part of a multipart message independently; just be
1079 aware that it works recursively. Before you scrub, note the rules that
1080 I follow:
1081 Content-type
1083 You can safely scrub the "content-type" attribute if, and only if,
1084 the part is of type "text/plain" with charset "us-ascii".
1085 Content-transfer-encoding
1087 You can safely scrub the "content-transfer-encoding" attribute if,
1088 and only if, the part uses "7bit", "8bit", or "binary" encoding.
1089 You are far better off doing this if your lines are under 1000
1090 characters. Generally, that means you can scrub it for plain text,
1091 and you can not scrub this for images, etc.
1092 Content-disposition
1094 You can safely scrub the "content-disposition" attribute if you
1095 trust the mail reader to do the right thing when it decides whether
1096 to show an attachment inline or as a link. Be aware that scrubbing
1097 both the content-disposition and the content-type means that there
1098 is no way to "recommend" a filename for the attachment!
1099 Note: there are reports of brain-dead MUAs out there that do the
1101 wrong thing if you provide the content-disposition. If your
1102 attachments keep showing up inline or vice-versa, try scrubbing
1103 this attribute.
1104 Content-length
1106 You can always scrub "content-length" safely.
1107 How do I give my attachment a [different] recommended filename?
1109 By using the Filename option (which is different from Path!):
1110 $msg->attach(Type => "image/gif",
1112 Path => "/here/is/the/real/file.GIF",
1113 Filename => "logo.gif");
1114 You should not put path information in the Filename.
1116 Working with UTF-8 and other character sets
1118 All text that is added to your mail message should be properly encoded.
1119 MIME::Lite doesn't do this for you. For instance, if you want to send
1120 your mail in UTF-8, where $to, $subject and $text have these values:
1121 · To: "Ramón Nuñez <foo@bar.com>"
1123 · Subject: "¡Aquí está!"
1125 · Text: "¿Quieres ganar muchos €'s?"
1127 use MIME::Lite;
1129 use Encode qw(encode encode_utf8 );
1130 my $to = "Ram\363n Nu\361ez <foo\@bar.com>";
1132 my $subject = "\241Aqu\355 est\341!";
1133 my $text = "\277Quieres ganar muchos \x{20ac}'s?";
1134 ### Create a new message encoded in UTF-8:
1136 my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
1137 From => 'me@myhost.com',
1138 To => encode( 'MIME-Header', $to ),
1139 Subject => encode( 'MIME-Header', $subject ),
1140 Data => encode_utf8($text)
1141 );
1142 $msg->attr( 'content-type' => 'text/plain; charset=utf-8' );
1143 $msg->send;
1144 Note:
1146 · The above example assumes that the values you want to encode are in
1148 Perl's "internal" form, i.e. the strings contain decoded UTF-8
1149 characters, not the bytes that represent those characters.
1150 See perlunitut, perluniintro, perlunifaq and Encode for more.
1152 · If, for the body of the email, you want to use a character set
1154 other than UTF-8, then you should encode appropriately, and set the
1155 correct "content-type", eg:
1156 ...
1158 Data => encode('iso-8859-15',$text)
1159 ...
1160 $msg->attr( 'content-type' => 'text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15' );
1162 · For the message headers, Encode::MIME::Header only support UTF-8,
1164 but most modern mail clients should be able to handle this. It is
1165 not a problem to have your headers in a different encoding from the
1166 message body.
1167 Benign limitations
1169 This is "lite", after all...
1170 · There's no parsing. Get MIME-tools if you need to parse MIME
1172 messages.
1173 · MIME::Lite messages are currently not interchangeable with either
1175 Mail::Internet or MIME::Entity objects. This is a completely
1176 separate module.
1177 · A content-length field is only inserted if the encoding is binary,
1179 the message is a singlepart, and all the document data is available
1180 at "build()" time by virtue of residing in a simple path, or in-
1181 core. Since content-length is not a standard MIME field anyway
1182 (that's right, kids: it's not in the MIME RFCs, it's an HTTP
1183 thing), this seems pretty fair.
1184 · MIME::Lite alone cannot help you lose weight. You must supplement
1186 your use of MIME::Lite with a healthy diet and exercise.
1187 Cheap and easy mailing
1189 I thought putting in a default "sendmail" invocation wasn't too bad an
1190 idea, since a lot of Perlers are on UNIX systems. (As of version 3.02
1191 this is default only on Non-Win32 boxen. On Win32 boxen the default is
1192 to use SMTP and the defaults specified in the site/lib/Net/libnet.cfg)
1193 The out-of-the-box configuration is:
1195 MIME::Lite->send('sendmail', "/usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi -oem");
1197 By the way, these arguments to sendmail are:
1199 -t Scan message for To:, Cc:, Bcc:, etc.
1201 -oi Do NOT treat a single "." on a line as a message terminator.
1203 As in, "-oi vey, it truncated my message... why?!"
1204 -oem On error, mail back the message (I assume to the
1206 appropriate address, given in the header).
1207 When mail returns, circle is complete. Jai Guru Deva -oem.
1208 Note that these are the same arguments you get if you configure to use
1210 the smarter, taint-safe mailing:
1211 MIME::Lite->send('sendmail');
1213 If you get "X-Authentication-Warning" headers from this, you can forgo
1215 diddling with the envelope by instead specifying:
1216 MIME::Lite->send('sendmail', SetSender=>0);
1218 And, if you're not on a Unix system, or if you'd just rather send mail
1220 some other way, there's always SMTP, which these days probably requires
1221 authentication so you probably need to say
1222 MIME::Lite->send('smtp', "smtp.myisp.net",
1224 AuthUser=>"YourName",AuthPass=>"YourPass" );
1225 Or you can set up your own subroutine to call. In any case, check out
1227 the send() method.
1228
1230 Good-vs-bad email addresses with send_by_smtp()
1231 If using send_by_smtp(), be aware that unless you explicitly provide
1232 the email addresses to send to and from you will be forcing MIME::Lite
1233 to extract email addresses out of a possible list provided in the
1234 "To:", "Cc:", and "Bcc:" fields. This is tricky stuff, and as such
1235 only the following sorts of addresses will work reliably:
1236 username
1238 full.name@some.host.com
1239 "Name, Full" <full.name@some.host.com>
1240 Disclaimer: MIME::Lite was never intended to be a Mail User Agent, so
1242 please don't expect a full implementation of RFC-822. Restrict
1243 yourself to the common forms of Internet addresses described herein,
1244 and you should be fine. If this is not feasible, then consider using
1245 MIME::Lite to prepare your message only, and using Net::SMTP explicitly
1246 to send your message.
1247 Note: As of MIME::Lite v3.02 the mail name extraction routines have
1249 been beefed up considerably. Furthermore if Mail::Address if provided
1250 then name extraction is done using that. Accordingly the above advice
1251 is now less true than it once was. Funky email names should work
1252 properly now. However the disclaimer remains. Patches welcome. :-)
1253 Formatting of headers delayed until print()
1255 This class treats a MIME header in the most abstract sense, as being a
1256 collection of high-level attributes. The actual RFC-822-style header
1257 fields are not constructed until it's time to actually print the darn
1258 thing.
1259 Encoding of data delayed until print()
1261 When you specify message bodies (in build() or attach()) -- whether by
1262 FH, Data, or Path -- be warned that we don't attempt to open files,
1263 read filehandles, or encode the data until print() is invoked.
1264 In the past, this created some confusion for users of sendmail who gave
1266 the wrong path to an attachment body, since enough of the print() would
1267 succeed to get the initial part of the message out. Nowadays,
1268 $AUTO_VERIFY is used to spot-check the Paths given before the mail
1269 facility is employed. A whisker slower, but tons safer.
1270 Note that if you give a message body via FH, and try to print() a
1272 message twice, the second print() will not do the right thing unless
1273 you explicitly rewind the filehandle.
1274 You can get past these difficulties by using the ReadNow option,
1276 provided that you have enough memory to handle your messages.
1277 MIME attributes are separate from header fields!
1279 Important: the MIME attributes are stored and manipulated separately
1280 from the message header fields; when it comes time to print the header
1281 out, any explicitly-given header fields override the ones that would be
1282 created from the MIME attributes. That means that this:
1283 ### DANGER ### DANGER ### DANGER ### DANGER ### DANGER ###
1285 $msg->add("Content-type", "text/html; charset=US-ASCII");
1286 will set the exact "Content-type" field in the header I write,
1288 regardless of what the actual MIME attributes are.
1289 This feature is for experienced users only, as an escape hatch in case
1291 the code that normally formats MIME header fields isn't doing what you
1292 need. And, like any escape hatch, it's got an alarm on it: MIME::Lite
1293 will warn you if you attempt to "set()" or "replace()" any MIME header
1294 field. Use "attr()" instead.
1295 Beware of lines consisting of a single dot
1297 Julian Haight noted that MIME::Lite allows you to compose messages with
1298 lines in the body consisting of a single ".". This is true: it should
1299 be completely harmless so long as "sendmail" is used with the -oi
1300 option (see "Cheap and easy mailing").
1301 However, I don't know if using Net::SMTP to transfer such a message is
1303 equally safe. Feedback is welcomed.
1304 My perspective: I don't want to magically diddle with a user's message
1306 unless absolutely positively necessary. Some users may want to send
1307 files with "." alone on a line; my well-meaning tinkering could
1308 seriously harm them.
1309 Infinite loops may mean tainted data!
1311 Stefan Sautter noticed a bug in 2.106 where a m//gc match was failing
1312 due to tainted data, leading to an infinite loop inside MIME::Lite.
1313 I am attempting to correct for this, but be advised that my fix will
1315 silently untaint the data (given the context in which the problem
1316 occurs, this should be benign: I've labelled the source code with
1317 UNTAINT comments for the curious).
1318 So: don't depend on taint-checking to save you from outputting tainted
1320 data in a message.
1321 Don't tweak the global configuration
1323 Global configuration variables are bad, and should go away. Until they
1324 do, please follow the hints with each setting on how not to change it.
1325
1327 Content types
1328 The "Type" parameter of "build()" is a content type. This is the
1329 actual type of data you are sending. Generally this is a string of the
1330 form "majortype/minortype".
1331 Here are the major MIME types. A more-comprehensive listing may be
1333 found in RFC-2046.
1334 application
1336 Data which does not fit in any of the other categories,
1337 particularly data to be processed by some type of application
1338 program. "application/octet-stream", "application/gzip",
1339 "application/postscript"...
1340 audio
1342 Audio data. "audio/basic"...
1343 image
1345 Graphics data. "image/gif", "image/jpeg"...
1346 message
1348 A message, usually another mail or MIME message.
1349 "message/rfc822"...
1350 multipart
1352 A message containing other messages. "multipart/mixed",
1353 "multipart/alternative"...
1354 text
1356 Textual data, meant for humans to read. "text/plain",
1357 "text/html"...
1358 video
1360 Video or video+audio data. "video/mpeg"...
1361 Content transfer encodings
1363 The "Encoding" parameter of "build()". This is how the message body is
1364 packaged up for safe transit.
1365 Here are the 5 major MIME encodings. A more-comprehensive listing may
1367 be found in RFC-2045.
1368 7bit
1370 Basically, no real encoding is done. However, this label
1371 guarantees that no 8-bit characters are present, and that lines do
1372 not exceed 1000 characters in length.
1373 8bit
1375 Basically, no real encoding is done. The message might contain
1376 8-bit characters, but this encoding guarantees that lines do not
1377 exceed 1000 characters in length.
1378 binary
1380 No encoding is done at all. Message might contain 8-bit
1381 characters, and lines might be longer than 1000 characters long.
1382 The most liberal, and the least likely to get through mail
1384 gateways. Use sparingly, or (better yet) not at all.
1385 base64
1387 Like "uuencode", but very well-defined. This is how you should
1388 send essentially binary information (tar files, GIFs, JPEGs, etc.).
1389 quoted-printable
1391 Useful for encoding messages which are textual in nature, yet which
1392 contain non-ASCII characters (e.g., Latin-1, Latin-2, or any other
1393 8-bit alphabet).
1394
1396 MIME::Lite works nicely with other certain other modules if they are
1397 present. Good to have installed are the latest MIME::Types,
1398 Mail::Address, MIME::Base64, MIME::QuotedPrint, and Net::SMTP.
1399 Email::Date::Format is strictly required.
1400 If they aren't present then some functionality won't work, and other
1402 features wont be as efficient or up to date as they could be.
1403 Nevertheless they are optional extras.
1404
1406 MIME::Lite comes with a number of extra files in the distribution
1407 bundle. This includes examples, and utility modules that you can use
1408 to get yourself started with the module.
1409 The ./examples directory contains a number of snippets in prepared
1411 form, generally they are documented, but they should be easy to
1412 understand.
1413 The ./contrib directory contains a companion/tool modules that come
1415 bundled with MIME::Lite, they don't get installed by default. Please
1416 review the POD they come with.
1417
1419 The whole reason that version 3.0 was released was to ensure that
1420 MIME::Lite is up to date and patched. If you find an issue please
1421 report it.
1422 As far as I know MIME::Lite doesn't currently have any serious bugs,
1424 but my usage is hardly comprehensive.
1425 Having said that there are a number of open issues for me, mostly
1427 caused by the progress in the community as whole since Eryq last
1428 released. The tests are based around an interesting but non standard
1429 test framework. I'd like to change it over to using Test::More.
1430 Should tests fail please review the ./testout directory, and in any bug
1432 reports please include the output of the relevant file. This is the
1433 only redeeming feature of not using Test::More that I can see.
1434 Bug fixes / Patches / Contribution are welcome, however I probably
1436 won't apply them unless they also have an associated test. This means
1437 that if I don't have the time to write the test the patch wont get
1438 applied, so please, include tests for any patches you provide.
1439
1441 Version: 3.031
1442
1444 Moved to ./changes.pod
1445 NOTE: Users of the "advanced features" of 3.01_0x smtp sending should
1447 take care: These features have been REMOVED as they never really fit
1448 the purpose of the module. Redundant SMTP delivery is a task that
1449 should be handled by another module.
