DESCRIPTION
This module was written to overcome the problem of sending mail messages, where there is no mail application available.
The aim of the module is to write messages to a text file, that will format the contents to include all the key elements of the message, such that the file can be transported to another machine, which is then capable of sending mail messages.
DEPENDENCIES
The distribution requires the following modules:
File::Basename
File::Path
File::Temp
For testing purposes, the following modules are desireable, but not essential:
Test::Pod
Test::Pod::Coverage
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
CPAN TESTING
This module was initially written to aid me in the CPAN Testing experience (see http://testers.cpan.org for further details). Unfortunately the machine I was testing on didn't have sendmail or SMTP access, so I needed to store plain text mails to send later.
I have patched my own version of Test::Reporter, and will hopefully be able to patch the official version, once this distribution is released.
