perl module ???

Post by AliceWonder » 2014/11/07 16:56:27

I'm just trying to follow along this very simple example -

http://learn.perl.org/examples/email.html

I can't find what module provides Email::Sender::Simple

Is it not shipped with RHEL/CentOS 7?

If not then what do you use to send mail with perl? I know in perl there are usually about 1,437 different ways to do something ;)

Code: Select all

$ cpan Email::Sender
should get you a local installation in ~/perl5 which you then can use without further ado.

CPAN wanted to pull in some other stuff that is available, I didn't want to let it do that.

I did see the rpm in Fedora 20, even though noarch I rebuilt the src.
The result wanted two others that not in CentOS/EPEL - but fortunately those two were the only other two I needed and did the same.

So I had to rebuild 3 fedora src.rpm's to get it but I did get it.

It would be nice if there was better coverage of perl stuff in EPEL but ah well.
