Embedding a .pm package without Use or Include 1

[cloxwerx]

A remote PERL (perl5/5.8.6) facility running under Linux does not have the mail::sendmail package I would like to use. Is there a way to embed this package in my uploadable program in place of the "use mail::sendmail" statement? I'm doing cross-platform work and believe this will function without alteration between ActivePerl on Windows XP and the Linux system.

Thanks for any suggestions.

you can distribute the mail::sendmail module with your script and use the 'lib' pragma to make sure it's avaialble to use on a server that does not have it installed.

mail::sendmail also uses Sys::Hostname but that is a core module so you should be OK in most cases.

Thanks, Kevin.

That was the perfect solution. After establishing the correct path to my add-on library for the cross-platform module the program ran correctly as it had on a Windows system.
