Use Net::SMTP, part of Graham Barr's libnet package.
<ftp://mors.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/MacPerl/Scripts/libnet-1.05_02.sit.hqx>

You might have to rewrite your script to include the headers that the
script's author assumed that sendmail would "helpfully" add.  It's not that
difficult.  Or you can use Mail::Internet in Graham Barr's MailTools:

<ftp://mors.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/MacPerl/Scripts/MailTools-1.09.sit.hqx>

which does some header writing for you, but you'll still need Net::SMTP to
actually send the mail.  There was an article on how to use MailTools in
one of the early "Perl Journal" issues, if you have them available.  The
article is not online, but the code used in the article should be available
at <http://www.tpj.com/>
