Hi,
I should install a mailing system with an attachment file option. I need to send on a weekly basis a .pdf file to the subscribers. Any suggestion?!?

Thanks

Well, if you need to send a pdf file, install the attachment software. But make it so people that dont have acrobat and make it so they dont get the attachment, or maybe they can get it in html format...

i'm not sure if i understand you right: it's you sending out the mail? or do you mean something like a mailform?
if you're talking 'bout the first one, try this url: http://www.webest.com/minimalist/. i know there is a tool, which can do it (minimalist), but i don't know, whether it's free or not...

Use the MIME module. Make a file with the below code in it to see if you have the right modules.

#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN {
 use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
}

use CGI qw(param header);
print header;

use MIME::Lite;

print "You have the right modules installed.";

If the above code works, tell me and I will tell you how to use the module. If not, contact your host and request that they install module MIME Lite from the CPAN.

If you are not sure how to program, but just want an end product, please say so, and I will see what I can do.
