[MacPerl] HLP: CGI to sendmail in MacPerl

[Paul Ross <paul@paulross.demon.co.uk>]

I am trying to use MacPerl 5 to email data filled into HTML forms. I am
using Perl scripts that I wrote for a UNIX server but now I am on a Mac
using Appleshare IP 5.0

My problem is: how does one get the Mac equivalent to the UNIX sendmail?

The MacPerl documentation is curiously silent on the matter but according
to the MacPerl FAQ (December 20th, 1996) I need MailIt  and MacSMTP.pl -
the latter needs 'macchat' which needs GUSI.ph etc. etc.

Is it really necesary to use so much MacPerl code to do such a simple thing
as emailing form data which just takes a line in UNIX?

Any help gratefully recieved.
