Mail::File
==========

DESCRIPTION

This module was written to overcome the problem of sending mail messages, 
where there is no mail application available. 

The aim of the module is to write messages to a text file, that will format
the contents to include all the key elements of the message, such that the 
file can be transported to another machine, which is then capable of sending 
mail messages.

DEPENDENCIES

The distribution requires the following modules:

  File::Basename
  File::Path
  File::Temp

For testing purposes, the following modules are desireable, but not essential:

  Test::Pod
  Test::Pod::Coverage

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install

CPAN TESTING

This module was initially written to aid me in the CPAN Testing experience
(see http://testers.cpan.org for further details). Unfortunately the machine
I was testing on didn't have sendmail or SMTP access, so I needed to store
plain text mails to send later.

I have patched my own version of Test::Reporter, and will hopefully be able
to patch the official version, once this distribution is released.
