News::FormReply - derivative of News::FormArticle and News::AutoReply

  use News::FormReply;

See below for functions available.

This is a "mixin" of News::FormArticle and News::AutoReply; it generates form replies by performing substitutions on a text file.

  use News::FormReply;

Exports nothing.

new ( ORIGINAL, FILENAME [, SOURCE [...]] )

Construct an article as a reply to ORIGINAL, initialised from the specified file, performing variable substitution with values supplied by the SOURCE parameters (see News::FormArticle).

The Subject, To, References and In-Reply-To headers are setup after the template has been read and substituted, but a Subject header set in a template will not be overridden.
