Thank you all for your help.
FYI: I am using ActiveState Perl, and used the PPM for many modules, and I also had gone to CPAN and downloaded more. With the Mail::Mailer, my code was similar, almost exact to what you all had. I tooled around and I'm still banging the keyboard against the wall w/frustration.

I then tinkered/tried using the Win32::OLE that RhetTbull posted above and it basically worked.
Thank you all so much for the extra set of eyes and teaching me the ways of Perl.
