Generally one puts the mailhost as the argument to new:

Net::SMTP->new("a.machine.you.can.relay.through");

But if you have a mailhost in your Net::Config (which generally means that
you have one in Internet Config), you should be OK.  This won't cause your
problem, anyway.

You've forgotten how to use File Find/Sherlock?  You're looking for a
file named SMTP.pm on your drive, specificially inside a folder called
Net in one of the folders you've told MacPerl to search when looking
for libraries.
