Mail::Send - Simple electronic mail interface require Mail::Send; $msg = Mail::Send->new; $msg = Mail::Send->new(Subject => 'example', To => 'timbo'); $msg->to('user@host'); $msg->to('user@host', 'user2@example.com'); $msg->subject('example subject'); $msg->cc('user@host'); $msg->bcc('someone@else'); $msg->set($header, @values); $msg->add($header, @values); $msg->delete($header); # Launch mailer and set headers. The filehandle returned # by open() is an instance of the Mail::Mailer class. # Arguments to the open() method are passed to the Mail::Mailer # constructor. $fh = $msg->open; # some default mailer $fh = $msg->open('sendmail'); # explicit print $fh "Body of message"; $fh->close; # complete the message and send it Mail::Send creates e-mail messages without using the Mail::Header knowledge, which means that all escaping and folding must be done by you! Simplicity has its price. When you have time, take a look at Mail::Transport

Constructors
Mail::Send->new(PAIRS) A list of header fields (provided as key-value PAIRS) can be used to initialize the object.

Header fields
$obj->add(FIELDNAME, VALUES) Add values to the list of defined values for the FIELDNAME. $obj->bcc(VALUES) $obj->cc(VALUES) $obj->delete(FIELDNAME) $obj->set(FIELDNAME, VALUES) VALUES will replace the old values for the FIELDNAME. Returned is the LIST of values after modification. $obj->subject(VALUES) $obj->to(VALUES)

Sending
$obj->open(OPTIONS) The OPTIONS are used to initiate a mailer object via Mail::Mailer::new(). Then Mail::Mailer::open() is called with the knowledge collected in this Mail::Send object.
