howdy,

when using sending an automated email using net::smtp the time stamp is not 
set correctly and the date line is not included in the headers.

is there a way to include the correct time stamp in the headers?

here's what i get:
Return-Path: <jchan@broadcast.com>
Received: from broadcast.com ([172.21.133.55]) by mailhost.broadcast.com
           (Post.Office MTA v3.1 release PO205e ID# 0-61905U600L400S0)
           with ESMTP id AAA297 for <jchan@broadcast.com>;
           Mon, 25 Feb 2002 16:41:40 -0600
From: jchan@broadcast.com
To: jchan@broadcast.com
Subject: test!!

code:
     $from = 'jchan@broadcast.com';
     $site = 'broadcast.com';
     $smtp_host = 'mailhost.broadcast.com';
     $to = 'jchan@broadcast.com';
     $subject = "test!!\n";
     $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($smtp_host, Hello => 'broadcast.com');

     $smtp->mail($from);
     $smtp->to($to);
     $smtp->data();
     $smtp->datasend("From: $from\n");
     $smtp->datasend("To: $to\n");
     $smtp->datasend("Subject: $subject");
     $smtp->datasend("\n");
     $smtp->dataend();
     $smtp->quit;
