Please use a text editor with line numbering to locate line number 269. Quote the nearby lines and mark the 269th line in your post.

If the script dies, it is logical that no mail could been sent.

Hi
This is the contents of Mailer.pm along with the line numbers

Quote:
260
261 # removed MO 20050331: destroyed the folding
262 # _cleanup_hdrs($hdrs);
263
264 my @to = $self->who_to($hdrs);
265
266 $self->close; # just in case;
267
268 # Fork and start a mailer
269
Code:
 (defined($exe) && open($self,"|-"))

270 || $self->exec($exe, $args, \@to)
271 || die $!;
272
273 # Set the headers
274 $self->set_headers($hdrs);
275
276 # return self (a FileHandle) ready to accept the body
277 $self;
278 }
Please do the needful...

Ok. Actually lines 269-271 is one statement, so the error only says it dies there. In fact, you see that on line 271. It tries to execute the sendmail executable piped, or an error message is shown and dies.

From the rest of the module, When in 'smtp' mode, the definitions inside Mail::Mailer::smtp will be sourced in to add some new methods as well as to replace a few ones. It seems like while loading this module there are errors preventing it from loading when calling the exec() method.

Ok. Let's try this on the command line:

perl -MMail::Mailer::smtp

on your system. Anything shown (I guess there should be some)?

Hmm. Then the require is ok. That's strange.

Maybe I will look into it if I have time later on.
