MIME::Lite is a strong module used by many. It's easy to use, including if you want to attach documents.

use MIME::Lite;
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
    From    => $from,
    To      => $to,
    Subject => $subject,
    Type    => 'text/plain',
    Data    => $message,
);
$msg->send;

Since it uses sendmail by default (as opposed to SMTP), you don't even need to configure it.
