We have the option of moving our site to a box that uses either Ensim or Plesk as the control panel. (Them's the choices.) Plesk uses Qmail and Ensim uses sendmail.

Currently all of our perl script use either calls to sendmail or Mime::Lite. i.e

my $mail_cmd = '/usr/bin/sendmail -t';

open (MAIL, "|$mail_cmd") or Error('Mail Error',"Can't open SendMail<b
+r>Error: $!");

How difficult will it be to adapt to Qmail? Will there be a lot of re-writing or will it simply be a matter of pointing $mail_cmd to Qmail instead of sendmail?? Aside from the example above, most of our scripts make extensive use of Mime::Lite, so I'd like to make sure they don't break.
