Try using the Mail::Sender module - unless you want to fix
Mail::Sendmail itself. If you look at the Readme's that come with
Mail::Sender, you'll see the author had to put in a fix to make it work
with Perl 5.8.0 - a fix I think probably needs to be applied to
Mail::Sendmail but to my knowledge hasn't yet. I spent a couple days
trying to get Mail::Sendmail to work on cygwin/2000 cygwin/NT4 and AIX.
After only partial success, I decided to go with Mail::Sender which
worked for all platforms.

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Mail::Sendmail Perl module with Perl 5.8.0-2 on
Windows XP. The Cygwin DLL version is 1.3.22.

make test produces:

/usr/bin/perl.exe "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl
1..2
Test Mail::Sendmail 0.79

Trying to send a message to the author (and/or whoever if you edited
test.pl)

(The test is designed so it can be run by Test::Harness from CPAN.pm.
Edit it to send the mail to yourself for more concrete feedback. If you
do this, you also need to specify a different mail server, and possibly
a different From: address.)

Current recipient(s): 'Sendmail Test <sendmail AT alma DOT ch>'

ok 1
Server set to: mail.alma.ch
Sending...
Use of uninitialized value in chomp at blib/lib/Mail/Sendmail.pm line
158, <S> chunk 1.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at
blib/lib/Mail/Sendmail.pm line 160, <S> chunk 1.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
blib/lib/Mail/Sendmail.pm line 333, <S> chunk 1.
HELO error ()
!Error sending mail:
HELO error ()

not ok 2


The test.pl script hangs for a long time (at "Sending...") before
printing the errors. Any idea what could be wrong? Are there any
problems with using the Socket module under Cygwin (which is pretty much
all Mail::Sendmail does)?

Cheers,
Ian
