Hi,
I have a strange situation with trying to use Net::SMTP.pm.
When I try to connect using
use Net::SMTP;
my $smtp_server='mail.webchalkboard.com';
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($smtp_server) or die "Failed:$!";
It does not work, but when I don't use a variable and just put
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mail.webchalkboard.com') or die "Failed:$!"
+;
It seems to work ok.
Am I being dense here...? Can anyone tell me the difference between putting things in " " and ' ' and not at all?
i.e.
my $value="this";
or
my $value='that';
I've also been wandering the best way to define a hash, i.e. $HASH{'key'} or $HASH{key} ??
Sorry to ask so many questions at the same time! cheers,
Tom

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
