My new favorite for simple mail sending is Mail::Sendmail, which has
nothing to do with the sendmail program.

  use Mail::Sendmail;

  %mail = ( To      => 'you@there.com',
            From    => 'me@here.com',
            Message => "This is a very short message"
           );

  sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;

  print "OK. Log says:\n", $Mail::Sendmail::log;

The smtp host is saved in the module file by default, or you can pass it in
the hash as "smtp => 'smtp.example.com'" or whatever.
