Taking a look at the html of their front page, the login procedure is quite simple. Ignore the JavaScript .. thats just so they can do cool things if the login fails.

The following code is an adaptation of the example in Cookbook 20.2 but is untested as I have no mail.com account :) 

use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use LWP::UserAgent;

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $req = POST 'http://www.mail.com/scripts/common/proxy.main', [
   action => 'login',
   show_frame => 'Enter',
   mail_language => 'us',
   login => 'full@email.address',
   password => 'yourpassword',
];
$content = $ua->request($req)->as_string;

if ($content =~/You Have New Mail/i) {
   send_an_email()
}
