It's not that easy.  That little snippet does not work for me, and I
certainly have Internet Config, with a setting for the SMTP server.  It
comes built into the latest versions of MacOS, including the one I'm using.
It may be that Mac::InternetConfig can't deal with the new Internet Config
(it changed even before being incorporated into the OS, the one that ships
with MacPerl is old).
