Re: [MacPerl] Q: Porting *NIX scripts w/sendmail?

["Paul J. Schinder" <schinder@pobox.com>]

I don't know if it meets your definition of "simple", but you can use
Net::SMTP to actually send mail, or use MailTool's
Mail::Internet::smtpsend() for a way to get some of the headers
constructed for you. Perl scripts tend to use sendmail both because their
authors assume it's always available (bad assumption, even on a Unix
machine), and because it "helpfully" fills in many headers the best it
can. Either way, you have to rewrite the part of the script that actually
sends the mail.

Does anyone have a way (simple?) to port scripts from *nix which use 
sendmail to send a mail message?
