[jifty-devel] Sending a web page as an email attachment

[Henry Baragar]

Hello,

How does one compile a Jifty/Mason script and get the output for sending as 
an email attachment.  We have followed the instructions from:

http://www.masonhq.com/docs/manual/Admin.html#using_mason_from_a_standalone_script

which has the following code skeleton:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use HTML::Mason;
    use strict;

    my $outbuf;
    my $interp = HTML::Mason::Interp->new
        (comp_root  => '/path/to/comp_root',
         data_dir   => '/path/to/data_dir',
         out_method => \$outbuf
        );
    $interp->exec(<component-path>, <args>...);

    # Do something with $outbuf

It appears that the script is run (since there are messages when we inject 
errors into the script), but we never get any output in $outbuf.

Do we have to do something special for Jifty?

What is the right (easiest?) way to do this in Jifty?

Regards,
Henry
