How to send mails with perl

In Perl, you can send emails using the Mail::Sender module, which is a popular and easy-to-use module for sending emails. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to send emails with Perl:

Step 1: Install the Mail::Sender module

You can install the Mail::Sender module using CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) or cpanm (CPAN Mini).

Using CPAN: cpan Mail::Sender
Using cpanm: cpanm Mail::Sender

Step 2: Create a Perl script

Create a new Perl script, for example, send_email.pl, and add the following code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Mail::Sender;

# Set the email settings
my $from = '[email protected]';
my $to = '[email protected]';
my $subject = 'Test Email';
my $body = 'This is a test email sent from Perl.';

# Create a new Mail::Sender object
my $sender = Mail::Sender->new;

# Set the email headers
$sender->SetFrom($from);
$sender->AddTo($to);
$sender->SetSubject($subject);

# Set the email body
$sender->Body($body);

# Send the email
$sender->Send;

Step 3: Run the Perl script

Save the script and run it using the following command:

perl send_email.pl

The script will send an email to the recipient with the specified subject and body.

Tips and Variations

You can customize the email settings, such as the From and To addresses, subject, and body, by modifying the variables at the top of the script.
You can also add attachments to the email by using the AddAttachment method, for example:
```
$sender->AddAttachment('path/to/attachment.txt', 'text/plain');
```
If you want to send HTML emails, you can set the Body method to a string containing HTML code, for example:
```
$sender->Body('<html><body>This is an HTML email.</body></html>');
```
You can also use other email modules, such as Email::Simple or Email::MIME, but Mail::Sender is a popular and easy-to-use option.
