sbin and csv in window platform

[vintl]

does anyone know how i can include the sendmail function which is normally available in linux platform? where i can install that function for my perl program?

another thing is after i've installed the DBD-CSV,SQL-Statement, and Text-CSV_XS, i got this error message "Bad Directory Permissions : htdocs/admin/data". usually in linux environment, this problem can be solve be setting the chmod to 777 or something like that, but in window 2000 platform how can i solve this problem?

thanx

If you're on a Windows platform and are using the ActiveState distribution of Perl (

http://www.activestate.com),

this distribution comes with a mail Module called Net::SMTP. I use this module quite often and it works wonderfully. I'd suggest giving that one a try.

If that doesn't work to your liking, there is a Windows "copycat" of Sendmail available, unfortunately, I don't remember what it is called. I'll get back to you on that one though once I find it again.

For your second problem, I'm not sure how to fix this. I don't use Windows 2000 (still on NT 4.0)

regarding the Net-SMTP, i can't find, but found NetServer-SMTP. Is it the same?
in linux environment, i use the below command line to sendmail. so in windows, after installing the NetServer-SMTP, can i use back the below scripts?

$mailprog = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";


$stmt = "SELECT DISTINCT EMAIL FROM abc
$sth = $dbh->prepare($stmt);
$sth->execute;
while($row_ref = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref) {

$D_EMAIL = $row_ref->[0];

$mail_flag = "Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii"

open(MAIL, "|$mailprog"
print MAIL <<&quot;mail_tag&quot;;
To: $D_EMAIL
From:
Subject: $F_SUBJECT
$mail_flag

$F_MSG

mail_tag
close(MAIL);


}
$sth->finish;

I don't think so no, have another look on the Windows PC, at the installed documentation for Net::SMTP. And try the following one-line Perl script to see if that module is installed.

use Net::SMTP;
