MIME::lite date problem

[audiopro]

Hi
I am trying to get a date into the header of an email created with MIME::Lite, which I have used many times before. I think the problem may be associated with the server we are using but I want to rule out my numbness before I complain to them.

According to the CPAN docs, missing the date variable forces it to create a current date and asssign it to the header. It is assigning a base date in 1970 so clearly isn't working.

Further CPAN reading says that a date can be created with a 'simple' module - Email:ate::Format;


It might be simple to you guys but using

my $date = email_date; # now

as stated in the docs throws a bare word error.

Trying it as a function

my $date = email_date(); # now

throws an unknown function error.

What is the correct syntax and why do the CPAN 'examples' throw errors?

Longshot, have you definately exported the function:

use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date);

Thanks for to reply.
Yes, the function is imported correctly (I wish the solution was something I had forgotten).

The problem may lie with the virtual server I am working on.
The email I am sending from the server appears in the email queue, is marked as processed but is not being received.

Needs further investigation.
