mailx questions
Hi,
I have a few quick questions that I'm sure the experts could answer very quickly:
1. If I specify the from address in a variable it doesn't seem to work. Here is what I'm doing:
mailFrom="email@address.com"
mailx -s "SUBJECT" -r "$mailFrom" etc .....
2. I'm including the output from logs in the body of an email and I'm using unix2dos for the txt file. Is there any reason to also use uuencode? I've taken a look at the documentation but I'm not sure I fully understand when it should be used ?
3. How can I include the hostname in the subject of the email ? The following doesn't seem to work:
subject="The hostname is $hostname"
mailx -s "$subject" etc .....
Thanks In Advance

log::dispatch::email
Log::Dispatch::Email(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Log::Dispatch::Email(3)
NAME
Log::Dispatch::Email - Base class for objects that send log messages via email
SYNOPSIS
package Log::Dispatch::Email::MySender
use Log::Dispatch::Email;
use base qw( Log::Dispatch::Email );
sub send_email
{
my $self = shift;
my %p = @_;
# Send email somehow. Message is in $p{message}
}
DESCRIPTION
This module should be used as a base class to implement Log::Dispatch::* objects that send their log messages via email. Implementing a
subclass simply requires the code shown in the SYNOPSIS with a real implementation of the "send_email()" method.
CONSTRUCTOR
The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:
o subject ($)
The subject of the email messages which are sent. Defaults to "$0: log email"
o to ($ or @)
Either a string or a list reference of strings containing email addresses. Required.
o from ($)
A string containing an email address. This is optional and may not work with all mail sending methods.
o buffered (0 or 1)
This determines whether the object sends one email per message it is given or whether it stores them up and sends them all at once.
The default is to buffer messages.
METHODS
o send_email(%p)
This is the method that must be subclassed. For now the only parameter in the hash is 'message'.
o flush
If the object is buffered, then this method will call the "send_email()" method to send the contents of the buffer and then clear the
buffer.
o DESTROY
On destruction, the object will call "flush()" to send any pending email.
