I would like to get some input from the general public on a few
issues with Mail::Sender.
1) Will anyone mind if the SendXxxxx() methods will return the
Mail::Sender object instead of the 1 they used to?
This would allow chaining the method calls like this :
eval {
(new Mail::Sender)
->OpenMultipart({...})
->Body(...)
->SendEnc(...)
->Part(...)
->SendEnc(...)
->Attach(...)
->Close();
}
if ($@ =~ /^Can't call method/) {
die "Cannot send mail : $Mail::Sender::Error\n"
} elsif ($@) {
die $@,"\n";
}
2) There is a beta version that contains code for the SMTP
authentication at http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz/Sender.pm . Currently
the only supported protcols are LOGIN, PLAIN and CRAM-DM5,
but it should be relatively easy to add other. Especialy if anyone
sends me a snipet of code that implements them ;-)
There is no documentation on the feature yet and the interface is
not yet fixed (yes, THIS is the question). In the beta the new
Mail::Sender constructor and the Open, OpenMultipart, MailMsg
and MailFile methods accepts three new parameters :
auth => the name of the protocol. Only supports LOGIN, PLAIN
and CRAM-MD5 now.
username => ...
password => ...
I wonder whether to use "username" and "password" or "authid"
and "authpwd" or something else ...
I do not have access to any server that would implement PLAIN
and CRAM-MD5 so could someone test it and let me know? Or
create for me a temporary test account on such a server if there
are problems so that I could test?
Thanks for opinions, suggestions, bug and success reports and
code snipets.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain
I can't find it.
