I was wondering if anybody had any ideas how to make a command for a bot, to do this:

when you tell the bot to email somebody, it emails them
ex: /email bobdole@viagra.com

and when you send an email to a screenname@aim.website.com, it automatically sends the screenname the message that was in the email

thanks-

I dont know wtf is wrong with cpan, but every search brings me to texttohtml when i enter the modules name

anyways, go to http://search.cpan.org and search for mail::sendmail and use that, I wouldn't use anything from wiredbots

edit: got it from an earlier post of mine

That module won't work for me.

Whenever I try to do "sendmail (%mail)" it dies with error:

Did you try...

It worked better when I ran it by itself.

Maybe another module is interfering (maybe MSN?). The MSN module's to blame for a lot of things. Maybe it's because it uses strict or something, but no compilers like it either. Messes things up.

What does MSN.pm have to do with Sendmail? And MSN is not to blame for anything. I personally use strict for all my code since it catches a TON of possible bugs. Which "compiler's" don't like it?

I would suggest writing a script that only uses Sendmail, a 3 liner, get that working and then integrate it back into your bot.

LOL. Compilers don't like it? LOL It breaking things because it uses strict? LOL. Its to blame for alot of things???? LOL

So let me get this straight, MSN + sendmail works fine for me and others. It doens't work for you, therefore MSN must be breaking Sendmail.. You need to go take a logic course and a perl course and come back later when you have a clue.

If you are going to make blanket statments like MSN breaks alot of things, then you should at least back it up with reproducable examples of broken behavior caused by MSN.pm. Then at least if could be fixed.

Well, for one, Perl2exe doesn't like it.

Back in the days when I used Net::AIM and MSN P2, I could compile the code rather easily with no errors at all. But since the new MSN modules, the compiler doesn't like it for some reason. It might also be just the SSL updates not being compatible with how the compiler wants the code to be or something.

Perl isn't realy mean to be compiled because of the way it allows for dynamic includes of files. This is specificaly a problem with some cross platform modules that dynamicaly load the correct parts. I beleive the HTTP SSL system is one of those. Just read the errors you get when compileing and hand "use" the files it is missing. That normaly works pretty good.
