This software allows tracking of HTML newsletters' views.
To use Apache::Mailtrack, you need to provide it with a serialized string generated by Data::Serializer representing a hashref. Each entry in the hash is written into the database, with the key used as the field name and the value written into that field. You'll need to implement a script to generate this user data and embed it into an HTML mail yourself.
You can trigger the handler using an image embedded in the newsletter or by recipients clicking on a link that points to a location handled by Apache::Mailtrack. To set up the module, you'll need to make some changes to your local httpd.conf.
In the body of the HTML newsletter, you'll need to add an image tag and an anchor tag to track clicks on the URL.
Overall, the use of Apache::Mailtrack is a good way to monitor the response of HTML newsletters and the module is relatively easy to set up. However, it does require some knowledge of Perl and SQL.
