I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

SVN::Notify Usage Troubles
Hello! I recently have attempted to install the SVN::Notify Module. I took the following steps:

- I started with a fresh Perl Installation (ActiveState 5.8.8.822)
- I Installed the SVN::Notify Module by executing the following instruction: perl -MCPAN -e "install SVN::Notify"
- When I invoke the svnnotify script by using the following command:

C:\svnnotify --repos-path X:\path\to\local\repository --revision 1 --to email@mydomain.net --from svn-notify@mydomain.net --smtp my.domain.local

I get the following error:

Unable to create Net::SMTP object: Unknown error at C:/Perl/site/lib/SVN/Notify.pm line 2336.


I am running a Windows 2003 SBS. Can anyone help me resolve this problem? Seeing as this is an unknown error, its tough for me to diagnose the problem, not being a Perl expert.

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Brett

Re: SVN::Notify Usage Troubles

I find that this typically happens when I don't point to a valid SMTP server. Can you send mail via my.domain.local from a mail client?
