in reply to email on WIN32

I've been using Email::Stuff lately. Doesn't get any easier. From the docs (with a mod for using SMTP):

# Prepare the message
  my $body = <<'AMBUSH_READY';
  Dear Santa
  
  I have killed Bun Bun.
  
  Yes, I know what you are thinking... but it was actually a total acc
+ident.
  
  I was in a crowded line at a BayWatch signing, and I tripped, and st
+ood on his head.
  
  I know. Oops! :/
  
  So anyways, I am willing to sell you the body for $1 million dollars
+.
  
  Be near the pinhole to the Dimension of Pain at midnight.
  
  Alias
  
  AMBUSH_READY
  
  # Create and send the email in one shot
  Email::Stuff->from     ('[e-mail]'                      )
              ->to       ('[e-mail]'              )
              ->bcc      ('[e-mail]'                )
              ->text_body($body                              )
              ->attach   (io('dead_bunbun_faked.gif')->all,
                          filename => 'dead_bunbun_proof.gif')
              ->using     ('SMTP', Host => 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com')
              ->send;

Cheers,

Hi Brent Here's what I'm doing (and it doesn't work). I'm feeling pretty stupid about this.

use Email::Stuff;
use IO::All;

 $body = 'this is a test';

  # Create and send the email in one shot
  Email::Stuff->from     ('[e-mail]'                      )
              ->to       ('[e-mail]'              )
              ->bcc      ('[e-mail]'                )
              ->text_body($body                              )
              ->attach   (io('test.doc')->all,
                          filename => 'test.doc')
              ->using     ('SMTP', Host => 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com')
              ->send;

"and it doesn't work" isn't a lot for us to go on, did you read How do I post a question effectively??

This question comes up often, see Sending Mail trough Perl using ActivePerl on windows or use super search for further examples.

sorry, of course 'it does not work' is not very helpful...unfortunately, there is no error printed so I have no idea what further information to include.
