[Dancer-users] Dancer::Plugin::Email problem with checking email failures

[Assaf Gordon]

Hello,

I'm having problems checking the return status of email sending with "Dancer::Plugin::Email" .

The first example in the "code recipes" of "Dancer::Plugin::Email" shows the following:
----
post '/contact' => sub {
 
    my $msg = email {
        to => '...',
        subject => '...',
        message => $msg,
        encoding => 'base64',
        attach => [ '/path/to/file' ]
    };
     
    warn $msg->{string} if $msg->{type} eq 'failure';
     
};
----

This is the actual code I used:
---
get '/emailtest' => sub {
        my $msg = email {
                to => 'gordon\@cshl.edu',
                subject => 'Dancer::PlugIn::Email Test',
                message => "Hello World from Dancer::Plugin::Email",
        };
        warn $msg->{string} if $msg->{type} eq 'failure';
        return "Email Sent!\n";
};
---

This is the error I get:
------------
Warning caught during route execution: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /home/gordon/projects/perl_dancer_test/user_email_verification/lib/user_email_verification.pm line 80.

/home/gordon/projects/perl_dancer_test/user_email_verification/lib/user_email_verification.pm around line 80
77 		subject => 'Dancer::PlugIn::Email Test',
78 		message => "Hello World from Dancer::Plugin::Email",
79 	};
80 	warn $msg->{string} if $msg->{type} eq 'failure';
81 	return "Email Sent!\n";
82 };
83

Trying to dig a little deeper, it seems "$msg" is a "Return::Value" object, and that class is deprecated.

Also, "$msg->{type}" returns an empty string (so it's not the problem), but "$msg->{string}" returns undef.
and "Data::Dumper($msg)" gives:
-----
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'prop' => {},
                 'string' => 'success',
                 'type' => 'success',
                 'errno' => undef
               }, 'Return::Value' );
----

I'm using Perl 5.10.1 , Dancer 1.3702, Dancer::Plugin::Email 0.1300 .


Any suggestions how to solve this ?

Thanks!
