That is indeed what appears on that page. I do not use Mail::Mailer;
preferring the direct approach that follows that example in the book.
But at the very least you will need to specify the contents of $email,
$mailto, and $subject. Although sometimes I wonder, in fact, Perl cannot
read your mind. <grin>
See below for sample insertion.
Note that if you use double quotes at some point for email addresses you
have to escape the @ thus:
"Shamon22\@aol.com"
