The older way is with MacSMTP.pl, which still is on

ftp://ftp.switch.ch/software/mac/src/mac_perl/

The Perl5 way is to use Net::SMTP and Mail::RCF822, but I'm not sure
to what extent they work on MacPerl. I think Paul Schinder has ported
at least the former, it's on

ftp://mors.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/MacPerl/Scripts/

And I suppose the latter needs at most a handful of modifications.
