I agree with some of the other replies that most people, if they're composing and sending email with perl, use SMTP so that it can work with any MTA (unless you already wanted to limit yourself to a certain MTA), so the MUA discussion is moot.
I don't think this is good advice. If you're going to use SMTP, you should also be willing to deal with all sorts of problems, like the MTA you're connecting to being down, (temporarely) refusing connection, or otherwise not willing to accept your mail right now. Which means you have to do build the "keep and retry" mechanism yourself.
I rather call /usr/lib/sendmail (whether that's from sendmail, or a drop-in replacement from another MTA) that will place my mail in the appropriate queue, then connect to port 25 and just pray my call gets accepted.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
