hello, i'm having trouble understanding how to make an appender send an email? appearently, i'm suppose to make an appender based on Log::Dispatch::Email*. the problem is which one? there are 4:
Log::Dispatch::Email Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSendmail Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend also, how am i suppose to specify which smtp server to use? from the man page of Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend: "Since Mail::Send is a subclass of Mail::Mailer, you can change how mail is sent from this module by simply useing Mail::Mailer in your code before mail is sent. For example, to send mail via smtp, you could do: use Mail::Mailer 'smtp', Server => 'foo.example.com';" well that doesn't compile in my code. and furthermore it doesn't seem clean. when if i want multiple email appenders, using different smtp servers? i looked around the source code, and i saw Mail::Mailer's (which Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend is derived from) constructor takes a scalar then a hash of arguments. well that scalar allows you specify smtp. the problem is that Log::Log4perl::Appender's constructor provides no mechanism for specifying that scalar when it constructs an instance of Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend. this is all so confusing...why don't they give concrete examples in the Log::Log4perl documentation? arg. thanks for the help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
