[MacPerl] SMTP.pm when to check for errors? Also, mailing file attachments?

[Robert Allen Decker <comrade@umich.edu>]

 First, is there a way to mail file attachments rather than putting the
data in the body of the message?

 Second, I don't know enough about these mail protocols to know what 
exactly a failure is. If I have the following code snippet:
        print "MailSessionData: hello: ", $mail->hello($me), "\n";
        print "MailSessionData: mail: ", $mail->mail($fromAddress), "\n";
        print "MailSessionData: to to: ", $mail->to($toAddress), "\n";
        print "MailSessionData: to cc: ", $mail->to($ccAddress), "\n";
        print "MailSessionData: data:", $mail->data(@lines), "\n";
        print "MailSessionData: quit:", $mail->quit, "\n";
I notice that "1" is printed whenever an action is successful. However,
what if the line
        print "MailSessionData: to cc: ", $mail->to($ccAddress), "\n";
returned failure? Would the message still be mailed to the first address,
or would the whole thing be abandoned?

thanks,
rob
