Wise Perl Monks,
So in outlook and netscape mail clients you can send email with html formatting. How do you do this in perl. Currently I am using use Net::SMTP; with code that looks like
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('xxxxx',
Hello => 'elim@cnet.com');
my $tm = scalar localtime;
$smtp->mail('elim@cnet.com');
$smtp->to('elim@cnet.com');
$smtp->data();
# $smtp->datasend('To: ELI MARCUS', "\n");
$smtp->datasend('Subject: AUTO PERL EMAIL Database Facts', "\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend("This is an automated email providing you satistics",
" on the US Full Push Database maintained by the Western",
" Region Technical Consultants\n\nThis Data is valid as of $tm\n\n",
"@list\n\n");
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;
$sqlquery1 ->finish();
# $sqlquery ->finish();
$CDS->disconnect || die "failed to disconnect\n";
What would I have to do to get this into html format. Then when I build @list I could wrap the data in a table.
Thanks for the help,
Eli

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).
