A quick search here turns up this node: WWW::SMS. The CPAN has a big list of modules that deal with SMS.
Have fun, and don't hesitate to call again when you have a specific question we could help you with.
Hmmm, the perils of replies occurring whilst composing your own reply. You've found a module to do the job, this is Good. The Net::SMS::Genie web page seems pretty straightforward. What is the actual problem?

As long as your volume is quite low and you don't mind if the sms's don't occassionally get through, then posting data through phone companies websites is a good free solution.
However for my uses (commercial system monitoring) the volume and the availability make using websites a problem. So I use a modem and call SMS Client from http://www.styx.demon.co.uk
That said, if you're just sending to a small number of SMS networks, chances are you could knock something up in perl talking directly to the serial port, and just using the config files from SMS Client as a hint. It's normally as simple as dial the right number, wait for CONNECT, enter the phone number you want to message, hit return, then the message, then return, wait for an 'ok, done' message, and hang up (I've (badly) written something previously to do this, but am using SMS Client to keep an eye on updates that are needed)

Easiest is probably Net::SMS:Genie
If you want to actually create the SMS contact yourself, rather than through a dodgy intermediary, there's original Net:SMS.
Well, that's two strictly perl-related answers to a not strictly perl-related question | [reply] |
Following on from the Net::SMS module post, I've spent some time playing with this lately, and I think simplewire have their head in the right place (I think they wrote that module as well).
