I don't have sendmail or a sendmail-like wrapper on my box and I have installed Mail​::Send in order to let perlbug use the working smtp server on localhost. It apparently consulted it since it used part of the smtp server's helo line in its guess as to my e-mail address\, but when it came Sending time\, the perlbug tool once again informed me that it couldn't figure out how to send the message\, instead of locating and using the localhost smtpd.

There doesn't seem to be an option for specifying what smtp server to use\, at least not in the synopsis.

This is a bug report for perl from artagnon@​gmail.com\, generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.17.10.

From 2bcc2d67fcfdc82f6927c062e47607e2ddb8abc0 Mon Sep 17 00​:00​:00 2001 From​: Ramkumar Ramachandra \artagnon@​gmail\.com Date​: Thu\, 21 Mar 2013 14​:43​:43 +0530 Subject​: [PATCH] utils/perlbug.PL​: recognize mstmtp as a valid sendmail MIME-Version​: 1.0 Content-Type​: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------1.8.2.64.gddf7ded.dirty"

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------1.8.2.64.gddf7ded.dirty Content-Type​: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=fixed Content-Transfer-Encoding​: 8bit

perlbug fails to use the modern sendmail-compatible alternative\, msmtp. Fix _probe_for_sendmail to look for the msmtp binary in addition to sendmail binaries.
