There is no way around it, you need a phone.

Now it needn't be your phone, but you need to be able to send a fax somehow (doesn't really matter how, whatever you can do, details needn't be perl specific).

Then, you simply create an interface to said faxing method (whether it be through OLE automation, use of Expect.pm with some app, or what have you).

It's easy (if you can send a fax somehow, then you can use perl to do it as well)

You may need one of the Modem modules from CPAN.

Now yahoo has a send-a-fax feature, and you can simply exploit it to fax/enable your application (yahoo account required, usuall caveats). Take a look at Mail::Webmail::Yahoo for an example of that type app.

Sorry to sound so vague/general, but dem's da breaks ;(

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo! ** The Third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.
