Try looking in the lib folder at "Net::SMTP" -- basically, you do 
something like:

use Net::SMTP;

	my $smtp = new Net::SMTP($smtp_server_name);
	$smtp->mail($mailfrom_address);
	$smtp->to($mailto_address);
	$datastring = "To:$mailto_address\nSubject: $subject\r\n$message\n";
	$smtp->data( [ $datastring ] );
	$smtp->quit;

Hope this helps...
