Perl sends a message

Perl sends a message

If your program is running on a Linux/Unix system, you can use the sendmail tool to send messages in Perl.

Here's a simple example of a script for sending a message:

#!/usr/bin/perl

# 接收邮箱，这里我设置为我的 QQ 邮箱，你需要修改它为你自己的邮箱
$to = '[email protected]';
#发送者邮箱
$from = '[email protected]';
#标题
$subject = 'W3Cschool教程 Perl 发送邮件测试';
$message = '这是一封使用 Perl 发送的邮件。';

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");

# 邮件头部
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
# 邮箱信息
print MAIL $message;

close(MAIL);
print "邮件发送成功\n";

The above procedure is performed and the output is:

邮件发送成功

Under normal circumstances, the above message will be blocked by QQ mailbox, I can add it to the whitelist, the operation can click: https://kf.qq.com/faq/120322fu63YV130805rYRFzu.html

When you join the whitelist, you can receive mail normally.

Send HTML-formatted messages

We can add Content-type: text/html to the head of the message to send the HTML message, as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
# 接收邮箱，这里我设置为我的 QQ 邮箱，你需要修改它为你自己的邮箱
$to = '[email protected]';
#发送者邮箱
$from = '[email protected]';
#标题
$subject = 'W3Cschool教程 Perl 发送邮件测试';
$message = '<h1>这是一封使用 Perl 发送的邮件<h1><p>你好，我来自W3Cschool教程，地址是:http://www.w3cschool.cn。</p>';
 
open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
 
# 邮件头部
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n";
print MAIL "Content-type: text/html\n";
# 邮箱信息
print MAIL $message;

close(MAIL);
print "邮件发送成功\n";

Use the MIME:: Lite module

If you're using a window system, there's no sendmail tool. You can then use perl's MIME:Lite module as a mail client to send messages.

MIME:Lite module Download address: MIME-Lite-3.030.tar.gz.

Here we install directly with cpan (root permission required) without downloading:

$ cpan -i MIME::Lite
……
  /usr/bin/make install  -- OK

After the installation is successful, let's demonstrate an example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use MIME::Lite;
 
# 接收邮箱，这里我设置为我的 QQ 邮箱，你需要修改它为你自己的邮箱
$to = '[email protected]';
# 抄送者，多个使用逗号隔开
# $cc = '[email protected], [email protected]';

#发送者邮箱
$from = '[email protected]';
#标题
$subject = 'W3Cschool教程 Perl 发送邮件测试';
$message = '这是一封使用 Perl 发送的邮件，使用了 MIME::Lite 模块。';

$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                 From     => $from,
                 To       => $to,
                 Cc       => $cc,
                 Subject  => $subject,
                 Data     => $message
                 );
                 
$msg->send;
print "邮件发送成功\n";

Send HTML-formatted messages

We can add Content-type: text/html to the head of the message to send the HTML message, as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use MIME::Lite;
 
# 接收邮箱，这里我设置为我的 QQ 邮箱，你需要修改它为你自己的邮箱
$to = '[email protected]';
# 抄送者，多个使用逗号隔开
# $cc = '[email protected], [email protected]';

#发送者邮箱
$from = '[email protected]';
#标题
$subject = 'W3Cschool教程 Perl 发送邮件测试';
$message = '<h1>这是一封使用 Perl 发送的邮件<h1><p>使用了 MIME::Lite 模块。</p><p>来自W3Cschool教程，地址是:http://www.w3cschool.cn。</p>';

$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                 From     => $from,
                 To       => $to,
                 Cc       => $cc,
                 Subject  => $subject,
                 Data     => $message
                 );

# 添加头部信息
$msg->attr("content-type" => "text/html");                         
$msg->send;
print "邮件发送成功\n";

Send a message with attachments

Send an example of a message with an attachment as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use MIME::Lite;
 
# 接收邮箱，这里我设置为我的 QQ 邮箱，你需要修改它为你自己的邮箱
$to = '[email protected]';
# 抄送者，多个使用逗号隔开
# $cc = '[email protected], [email protected]';

#发送者邮箱
$from = '[email protected]';
#标题
$subject = 'W3Cschool教程 Perl 发送邮件测试';
$message = '这是一封使用 Perl 发送的邮件，使用了 MIME::Lite 模块，包含了附件。';

$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                 From     => $from,
                 To       => $to,
                 Cc       => $cc,
                 Subject  => $subject,
                 Type     => 'multipart/mixed'   # 附件标记
                 );


$msg->attach (
              Type => 'TEXT',
              Data => $message
);# 指定附件信息
$msg->attach(Type        => 'TEXT',
             Path        => './w3cschool.txt',   # 当前目录下
             Filename    => 'w3cschool.txt',
             Disposition => 'attachment'
            );
$msg->send;
print "邮件发送成功\n";

You can add $msg attachments by using multiple attachments.
