You didn't check the return value from new().  In this case, new() returned
undef, because smtp.parks.lv is the concatenation of three barewords,
resulting in 'smtpparkslv', which is not a valid SMTP server.  So you also
forgot use strict and -w, either of which would have highlighted this
error.


my $smtp = new Net::SMTP 'smtp.parks.lv' or
   die "Error creating SMTP object.\n";

So you're calling the method mail() on an undefined value, which is
neither a package nor an object reference.
