First PERL script - GetLive
Posted on 2008-10-17
I'm a PHP person trying to use the following PERL script, I have never used a PERL script:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/getlive/
I've installed the PHP Perl mod and can run a simple 'hello world' Perl script as:
print "Hello from PHP!<br />";
$perl = new Perl();
$perl->require("test1.pl")
print "Bye";
I've uploaded the GetLive.pl into "/usr/local/bin/GetLive.pl
My config file is the following:
UserName = myemail
Password = pswd
Domain = hotmail.com
FetchOnlyUnread = Yes
Folder = Inbox
Folder = Junk
MarkRead = Yes
Downloaded = /mail/mydomain.com/hotmail
Processor = /usr/sbin/sendmail -i hotmail
However, when I run the following page:
$perl = new Perl();
$perl->require("/usr/local
I get:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PerlException' with message '[perl] require error: Can't locate /usr/local/bin/GetLive.pl --config-file /home/myuser/.getliveconfi
I've never done anything like this before and am trying to get my hotmail mail either forwared to my gmail or at least processed by my mail server. I have root access and cPanel/WHM and have not installed the GetLive RPM, I've just uploaded the files GetLive.pl, SmtpAuthForward.pl, SmtpForward.pl, my config file and the php page that calls the .pl. Once I have this working I was going to build a cron for the php page, unless I can just cron GetLive.pl --config-file /home/myuser/.getliveconfi
Again, I'm very new to this and have tried many things to get it to work so step by step instructions would be very helpful.

I think the require method is searching @INC to include the specified program, not taking it as an absolute path. Try adding the root to @INC:
$perl = new Perl();
$perl->eval("use lib '/'");
$perl->require("/usr/local
Is there a reason you are using PHP to start a perl program - other than you are familiar with PHP?
If not, you could just skip the PHP part.
Do you have shell access? If so, log in, and try running GetLive.pl (just type "GetLive.pl --config-file /home/myuser/.getliveconfi
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/GetLive.pl
$perl = new Perl();
$perl->eval("use lib '/'");
$perl->require("/usr/local

From the SSH I did "GetLive.pl --config-file /home/myuser/.getliveconfi
But as of now I can't get it to forward. The manual says to have in the config file to set the Processor as either:
/usr/bin/procmail ///default
SmtpForward.pl ///Script Provided
SmtpAuthForward.pl ///Script Provided
/usr/sbin/sendmail -i mymailaccount ///Found a website that said use this link below but I can't get his fix for the headers to work
http://aquariusoft.org/~mbscholt/index.php?rantid=573
With the above fix my config had, which resulted in error
Processor = echo -e "\n\n" ; /bin/cat - >> /home/myuser/mail/mydomain
I've gotten the SmtpForward.pl but the mail is never forwarded.
With SmtpAuthForward.pl it seems to be forwarded but as the emails are forwarded with the headers included and the html as text.

use strict;
use Net::SMTP_auth;
my $Debug = 1;
my $Message;
my $Server = "mail.mydomain.com";
my $Address = "forwardacct\@mydomain.com";
my $From = "forwardacct\@mydomain.com";
my $AuthType = "login";
my $UserName = "forwardacct\@mydomain.com"; # For the smtp server.
my $Password = "pswrd"; # For the smtp server.
# Slurp the message and detect/remove the from.
while (<>) {
#if (m/^From (.*)$/) {
# $From = $1;
# next;
#}
$Message .= $_;
}
my $Smtp = Net::SMTP_auth->new(Host=>$Server,Debug=>$Debug) ||
die "Could not connect to SMTP server $Server : $!";
$Smtp->auth($AuthType,$UserName,$Password);
$Smtp->mail($From);
$Smtp->to($Address);
$Smtp->data();
$Smtp->datasend($Message);
$Smtp->dataend();
$Smtp->quit();
Sorry some errors I fixed them:
From the SSH I did "GetLive.pl --config-file /home/myuser/.getliveconfi
But as of now I can't get it to forward. The manual says to have in the config file to set the Processor as either:

GetLive died with message: 'Sending mail to '/usr/bin/procmail' did not succeed. See error log. at /usr/local/bin/GetLive.pl line 1170.
2) SmtpForward.pl ///Script Provided

Do you have access to sendmail, usually one of these:
/bin/sendmail
/usr/bin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/bin/sendmail
/usr/bin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
