Mail::Bulkmail::Dynamic Description

Mail::Bulkmail::Dynamic is a platform independent mailing list module for mail merges and dynamically built messages. Mail::Bulkmail::Dynamic is a platform independent mailing list module for mail merges and dynamically built messages.SYNOPSIS my $bulk = Mail::Bulkmail::Dynamic->new( "merge_keys" => , "merge_delimiter" => "::", "LIST" => "~/my.list.txt", "From" => "'Jim Thomason'", "Subject" => "This is a test message", "Message" => "Here is my test message" ) || die Mail::Bulkmail->error(); $bulk->bulkmail() || die $bulk->error;Don't forget to set up your conf file!Mail::Bulkmail 1.00 had a thing called "filemapping", it was to allow you to dynamically populate certain variables into your message. Put in people's names, or the like.2.00 renamed "filemapping" to the correct term - "mail merging", and also added in the ability to dynamically create your message, if so desired. So you could very easily send out completely different messages to everyone on your list, if so desired. But 2.00 also added a *lot* of processing overhead, most of which was unfortunately in the form of voodoo. i.e., I seem to recall lots of testing, debugging, etc. until I finally reached a point where the code worked and I sent it off. Not quite sure how it worked, mind you, but happy with the fact that it worked nonetheless.3.00 strips that ability out of Mail::Bulkmail, cleans it up, and places it here. This has a few advantages. For one thing, if you're not doing any mailmerging, then you don't have to worry about any of the overhead of building hashes, doing checks, internally handling things, and so on. There wasn't a tremendous amount of useless work done in that case, but it was enough to be noticed. So now use Mail::Bulkmail if you're not doing mail merges, and Mail::Bulkmail::Dynamic if you are.And the other thing is that the code is cleaned up a lot. I actually know and understand how it all works now, and it functions much better than previous versions did. Faster, more efficient, and so on. Requirements: · Perl
