Which Perl module would you recommend for sending and getting e-mail?


I am searching a Perl module to write (SMTP) and read (IMAP) e-mails. Which module out of the bunch would you suggest?


Solution

  • MIME::Lite is the most widely used and stable module around for sending e-mails. It supports sendmail and SMTP sending methods.

    For IMAP, it depends on how low-level your needs are, but Net::IMAP::Client is simple to use and should suit most needs.
