SYNOPSIS

use Embperl::Mail ;
   
Embperl::Mail::Execute ({inputfile => 'template.epl',
                               subject   => 'Test Embperl::Mail::Execute',
                               to        => 'email@foo.org'}) ;

DESCRIPTION

Embperl::Mail uses Embperl to process a page template and send the result out via EMail. Currently only plain text mails are supported. A later version may add support for HTML mails. Because of that fact, normal Embperl HTML processing is disabled per Default (see options below).

Execute

The Execute function can handle all the parameter that Embperl::Execute does. Addtionaly the following parameters are recognized:

from

gives the sender e-mail address

to

gives the recipient address(es). Multiply addresses can either be separated by semikolon or given as an array ref.

cc

gives the recipient address(es) which should receive a carbon copy. Multiply addresses can either be separated by semikolon or given as an array ref.

bcc

gives the recipient address(es) which should receive a blind carbon copy. Multiply addresses can either be separated by semikolon or given as an array ref.

subject

gives the subject line

reply-to

the given address is insert as reply address

mailheaders

Array ref of additional mail headers

headerencoding (2.0b9+)

mailhost

Specifies which host to use as SMTP server. Default is localhost.

mailhelo

Specifies which host/domain to use in the HELO/EHLO command. A reasonable default is normaly choosen by Net::SMTP, but depending on your installation it may neccessary to set it manualy.

options

If no options are given the following are used per default: optDisableHtmlScan, optRawInput, optKeepSpaces, optReturnError

errors

As in Embperl::Execute you can specify an array ref, which returns all the error messages from template processing. If you don't specify this parameter Execute will die when an error occurs.

EMBPERL_MAILHOST
