Answer 1

If the machine does not have sendmail configured, I typically use Mail::Sendmail

use Mail::Sendmail;

%mail = (smtp    => 'my.isp.com:25',
         to      => 'foo@example.com',
         from    => 'bar@example.com',
         subject => 'Automatic greetings',
         message => 'Hello there');

sendmail(%mail) or die;
