}I have tried the example in the LWP.pm documentation, but to no avail.

If you have MailTools installed, it will work.  It won't work otherwise.
The stock LWP uses a pipe to sendmail to actually send the mail.  That
won't work under MacOS.  But LWP is a really clunky way to send e-mail (I
still don't understand why anyone would actually want to do it), and you
should just be using MailTools itself, or Net::SMTP with your own front end.

Or to put it another way, I can do it, and I've tried to put enough
information in README.libwww.mac so that you can do it, too.  If I haven't,
let me know and I'll try to make it clearer.  MailTools doesn't come with
5.15r4, so you'll have to get them from
<ftp://mors.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/MacPerl/Scripts/>.  A new version of
MailTools was released yesterday, and I'll have the MacPerl version ready
after I've done some minimal testing.  libwww-perl-5.15.sit.hqx should be
available shortly (but *don't* install this in your MacPerl lib, since I
haven't rolled in Matthias' changes yet; I plan on having an updater for
:MacPerl Ä:lib: available before Thanksgiving)  The port of the just
released libnet-1.0602 should be available in a day or so (same warning as
with LWP, although in this case the internal changes have been so extensive
that most files will be replaced).
