How do I send html email from Perl?

To send an HTML email from Perl, you can use the "MIME::Lite" module. "MIME::Lite" is a Perl module that allows you to create and send MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) messages, including HTML emails.

To send an HTML email from Perl using the "MIME::Lite" module, follow these steps:

  1. Install the "MIME::Lite" module. You can do this by running the following command:
r‮‬efer to:lautturi.com
cpan MIME::Lite

This will install the "MIME::Lite" module and any dependencies it may have.

  1. Create a Perl script and use the "MIME::Lite" module. To do this, add the following lines at the beginning of your script:
use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Lite;

These lines will use the "strict" and "warnings" modules for better error handling, and use the "MIME::Lite" module to create and send MIME messages.

  1. Create a new MIME message using the "MIME::Lite" module. To do this, add the following lines to your script:
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
    From    => 'sender@example.com',
    To      => 'recipient@example.com',
    Subject => 'HTML email',
    Type    => 'text/html',
    Data    => '<html><body>This is an HTML email.</body></html>',
);

This will create a new MIME message with the specified "From" and "To" addresses, the subject "HTML email", the type "text/html", and the HTML data in the "Data" field.

  1. Send the MIME message using the "send" method. To do this, add the following line to your script:
$msg->send;

This will send the MIME message using the default method specified in the "MIME::Lite" configuration.

With these steps, you should be able to send an HTML email from Perl using the "MIME::Lite" module. Consult the documentation of "MIME::Lite" for more information on how to use this module and customize your MIME messages.
