Email::Send::Gmail with Cygwin

by JDylan (Initiate)
on Nov 20, 2008 at 04:32 UTC ( [id://724793]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

JDylan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm using Cygwin's perl, 5.1.0. I'm trying to send email through gmail with perl. The module that I'm trying to use is Email::Send::Gmail. When I type cpan -i Email::Send::Gmail at my cygwin prompt, it looks like it installs, this is what I get: 
$cpan -i Email::Send::Gmail

I then try to run this simple example code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Email::Send;
use Email::Send::Gmail;
use Email::Simple::Creator;

my $email = Email::Simple->create(
    header => [
        From    => 'me@gmail.com',
        To      => 'me@gmail.com',
        Subject => 'Works!!',
    ],
    body => 'w00t',
);

my $sender = Email::Send->new(
    {   mailer      => 'Gmail',
        mailer_args => [
            username => 'me@gmail.com',
            password => 'my_password',
        ]
    }
);
eval { $sender->send($email) };
die "Error sending email: $@" if $@;

But I get this error: 
$ ./gmailpop.pl

So (perhaps naively) I attempted $ cpan -i Email::Send to which I got

At which point I run out of ideas. Can someone please help me with this? I'm trying to write a very simple script for the holidays, and this is driving me nuts. Thanks!

It should be noted that I don't care what method I used to send emails through gmail, so if there's an alternative to Email::Send::Gmail that might work, by all means suggest it.

      Thanks for the response. Using that idea, I ran these commands, as they seemed needed: 
      cpan -fi Email::Send
cpan -fi Email::Simple
cpan -fi Return::Value
cpan -fi Email::Address
cpan -fi Net::SMTP::SSL
cpan -fi IO::Socket::SSL

      all of which seemed to install successfully, I then tried to run the program again, and I got:

The libraries needed to support IPv6 transport have not been found. 
You will need recent versions of the IO::Socket::INET6 and Socket6 
libraries (from CPAN). 

Testing if you have a C compiler and the needed header files....
You have a working compiler.
        
You appear to be directly connected to the Internet.  I have some test

that try to query live nameservers.
        
Do you want to enable these tests? [y] 
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

        Hi,

        Do you have C compiler and make?

        I would recommend you to use Strawberry Perl
