This is MIME::Lite 3.01_01 Test Maintenance Release ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TEST RELEASE Please be WARNED that this is a test release and should NOT be blindly put into production. I would appreciate any and all feedback as to whether any problems occur in using it, especially as I have no way currently to test sendmail functionality. INSTALLATION Install using perl makefile.pl make test make install Or instead of the last line, even better is make install TEST_VERBOSE=1 Adjust the make command as is appropriate for your OS. 'nmake' is the usual name under Win32 In order to read the docmentation please use perldoc MIME::Lite from the command line or visit http://search.cpan.org/search?query=MIME%3A%3ALite&mode=all for a list of all MIME::Lite related materials including the documentation in HTML of all of the released versions of MIME::Lite. BUNDLED GOODIES MIME::Lite comes with a number of extra files in the distribution bundle. This includes examples, and utility modules that you can use to get yourself started with the module. The ./examples directory contains a number of snippets in prepared form, generally they are documented, but they should be easy to understand. The ./contrib directory contains a companion/tool modules that come bundled with MIME::Lite, they dont get installed by default. Please review the POD they come with. OTHER MODULES MIME::Lite works nicely with other certain other modules if they are present. Good to have installed is the latest MIME::Types, Mail::Address MIME::Base64. BUGS Should tests fail please review the ./testout directory, and in any bug reports please include the output of the relevent file. This is the only redeeming feature of not using Test::More that I can see. Bug fixes / Patches / Contribution are welcome, however I probably won't apply them unless they also have an associated test. This means that if I dont have the time to write the test the patch wont get applied, so please, include tests for any patches you provide. TERMS AND CONDITIONS Copyright (c) 1997 by Eryq.
