Hi..

I need to sendn a mail from a perl script. I'm using MIME::Entity to create the e-mail, so I have a string like this to print out to sendmail:

To: somebody@domain.com
From: me@domain.com
etc

But I want to use the script on a system that doesn't have sendmail, or maybe use a different SMTP server, other than localhost. I need to use MIME::Entity because I'm sending attachments. What would be another way to send the e-mails? I say Mail::Sendmail and Net::SMTP, but they all have commands like this:

$mail = {To => 'somebody@domain.com', From => 'me@domain.com', etc
or something, but I alredy have all the mail on a string. Any ideas?

thanks..
