HOWTO: send mail using perl on windows without sendmail

Q: How to send mail using perl on windows without sendmail?
A: You need Mail::Sender module and available SMTP Server

e.g.
Simple single part message

        $sender = new Mail::Sender {
                smtp => 'mail.yourISP.com',
                from => 'somebody@somewhere.com',
                on_errors => undef,
        }
                or die "Can't create the Mail::Sender object\n";
        $sender->Open({
                to => 'mama@home.org, papa@work.com',
                cc => 'somebody@somewhere.com',
                subject => 'Sorry, I\'ll come later.'
        })
                or die "Can't open the message: $sender->{'error_msg'}\n";
        $sender->SendLineEnc("I'm sorry, but thanks to the lusers,
                I'll come at 10pm at best.");
        $sender->SendLineEnc("\nHi, Jenda");
        $sender->Close()
                or die "Failed to send the message: $sender->{'error_msg'}\n";

yet another good option is Email::Sender module
usage:

  my $message = Email::MIME->create( ... );
  # produce an Email::Abstract compatible message object,
  # e.g. produced by Email::Simple, Email::MIME, Email::Stuff

  use Email::Sender::Simple qw(sendmail);
  use Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP qw();
  use Try::Tiny;

  try {
    sendmail(
      $message,
      {
        from => $SMTP_ENVELOPE_FROM_ADDRESS,
        transport => Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP->new({
            host => $SMTP_HOSTNAME,
            port => $SMTP_PORT,
        })
      }
    );
  } catch {
      warn "sending failed: $_";
  };

apache: gif png jpg css gif etc is not executable; ensure interpreted scripts have

If appears error message in apache XXX  is not executable; ensure interpreted scripts have "#!"
you should checks that in script or cgi-bin directory only scripts are stored otherwise Apache will try to execute file.
Just move file to ..\images\ or ..\css\ directory and correct links.


and check also config section, you will find tip here.

PeopleSoft SQR Language and Function List in Notepad 5

First of all I have found funny bug in Notepad++, if you want to use FunctionList plugin with User Defined Language then you should switch off "language menu compact" mode and disable some languages.

Next step to add user defined language SQR
Open User Language Dialog and and create new language SQR.
You can add some keywords, comments and nice formatting. Look here for details.

After that we can define Language Parsing Rule for Function List plugin.
But keep in mind, that SQR script has a lot nameless blocks, so function list could not show any text.
Recommended workaround to add some descriptive comment after begin word, e.g.
begin-program !my first app


Lets add new Group PROGRAMM and RegEx

and of course we need PROCEDURE group with 2 rules!
Rule 1.

Rule 2.

Press OK and enjoy with end result

Keywords for SQR  have been taken here. Many thanks to Iouri Chadour!


Sincerely yours,
