Error sending email with MIME::Lite module

[breezesunshine]

Hi:

I apologize if this is a stupid question. I am new to Perl. Thanks in advance for your help!

I can't figure out why I keep getting this eror when running the code below:

"Can't locate object method "send_by_SMTP" via package "MIME::Lite" at C:/Perl/li
b/MIME/Lite.pm line 2451."

The MITE::Lite module is installed successfully (I use PPM and ActivePerl on windows).

Here is the code:
--------------------------------
use MIME::Lite;
use NET::SMTP;

### Create the multipart "container":
$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From =>'breezesunshine@yahoo.com',
To =>'lan_bo@hotmail.com',
Subject =>'A message with 2 parts...',
Type =>'multipart/mixed'
);

### Add the text message part:
### (Note that "attach" has same arguments as "new"):
$msg->attach(Type =>'TEXT',
Data =>"Here's the GIF file you wanted"
);

### Add the image part:
$msg->attach(Type =>'image/jpg',
Path =>'d:/test.jpg',
Filename =>'test.jpg',
Disposition => 'attachment'
);


### Format as a string:
$str = $msg->as_string;

### Write just the header:
$msg->print_header(\*STDOUT);



### Send the message;
$msg->send("SMTP");

Looks like the module might not be installed successfully. Try removing it, and reinstalling it

Here is what I got when installing the MIME::Lite module. It seems that the module is installed successfully(see below):
--------------------------------------

So I really do not understand why I got the error "Can't locate object method "send_by_SMTP" via Package "MIME::Lite" at C:/Perl/li
b/MIME/Lite.pm line 2451."

Thanks again for any help!

this is just a stab in the dark as I don't use Mime::Lite to send emails i use Net:SMTP, but from what I see it might be a case sensative problem i.e. send_by_smtp

as i have seen it shown on the net in ALL lower case, and as perl is case sensative, it might be the problems.
