in reply to Inserting a hyperlink

Hi rio, give the hyperlink using HTML tags in the message part and mention the type as "text/html". See as below:

my $message_body = "This is a list of things to bring\n<a href=\"http:
+//www.perlmonks.com\">Fresh flowers from Flowershop X</a>\n<a href=\"
+http://www.perl.org\">Today's Arragement instructions from instrucito
+n home page</a>\n";

### Add the text message part
$msg->attach (Type => 'text/html',             
           Data => $message_body        
          ) or die "Error adding the text message part: $!\n";

    Don't do that.

    HTML formatted email without a plain text alternative is a strong indicator or spammyness (or at least cluelessness). It is a very good way to get diverted to the spambucket.

    If you must do HTML formatted email, then Email::MIME::CreateHTML is a decent choice, and makes it easy to provide the plain text alternative.
