Sending a Plain Message using Perl
If you are working on Linux/Unix machine then you can simply use sendmail utility inside your Perl program to send email. Here is a sample script that can send an email to a given email ID. Just make sure the given path for sendmail utility is correct. This may be different for your Linux/Unix machine.
#!/usr/bin/perl $to = 'abcd@gmail.com'; $from = 'webmaster@yourdomain.com'; $subject = 'Test Email'; $message = 'This is test email sent by Perl Script'; open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"); # Email Header print MAIL "To: $to\n"; print MAIL "From: $from\n"; print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n"; # Email Body print MAIL $message; close(MAIL); print "Email Sent Successfully\n";
Actually, the above script is a client email script, which will draft email and submit to the server running locally on your Linux/Unix machine. This script will not be responsible for sending email to actual destination. So you have to make sure email server is properly configured and running on your machine to send email to the given email ID.
