Lines: 40 Sender: news-merlyn@gadget.cscaper.com Approved: merlyn@stonehenge.com (comp.lang.perl.announce) Message-ID: <5h3d4t$mn5$1@nadine.teleport.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: gadget.cscaper.com X-Disclaimer: The "Approved" header verifies header information for article transmission and does not imply approval of content. Xref: usenet.cise.ufl.edu comp.lang.perl.announce:136 comp.lang.perl.modules:2160 Because so many folks have asked for it, and waited so long, I have put an Alpha copy of the new MIME::Lite module on-line. The interface is now even prettier and more conformant with Perl conventions (e.g., as_string() instead of stringify()). We're fast approach Beta status, so get those suggestions in before I freeze the public interface! ---------- If you ever wanted to be able to send email messages with attached GIF files, but you didn't want to have to pull over the entire MIME:: and Mail:: distributions, now's your chance to play around with a single, self-contained module. Comments are most welcome. Alpha copy on-line at: http://www.enteract.com/~eryq/CPAN/MIME-Lite/ Docs also, at: http://www.enteract.com/~eryq/CPAN/MIME-Lite/docs/MIME/ Knock yourselves out. Send me email if/when stuff breaks; I try and do 24-hour turnarounds on bug reports. ** Note: as the name implies, this is not a substitute for the real MIME-generating modules (which I also maintain). It is a low-overhead, 90%-of-the-time-it'll-do-what-you-need solution. Any popular stuff in MIME::Lite will go into MIME::Entity (which currently is too cumbersome for the tastes of some folks, but will be getting less-so). -- ___ _ _ _ _ ___ _ Eryq (eryq@enteract.com) / _ \| '_| | | |/ _ ' / Hughes STX, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Cntr. | __/| | | |_| | |_| | http://www.enteract.com/~eryq \___||_| \__, |\__, |___/\ Visit STREETWISE, Chicago's newspaper by/ |___/ |______/ of the homeless: http://www.streetwise.org .
