You have quite a lot of errors in your code. in fact you probably did not get this code from the program you are running.
Something like this seems to work:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w # note: -w
use strict; # note: strictness
use MIME::Lite; # note: ends with ;
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new( # note: ->new(
From=>'some@email',
To=>'some@email',
Subject=>'SUBJECT OF MESSAGE',
Type=>'TEXT',
Data=>"THIS IS THE MESSAGE"
); # do not forget this
$msg->send("smtp","smtp.something.addr"); # note: small letters
# and smtp server
Your problem (amongst others) is probably that you don't have a default SMTP server specification.
It would probably also help to Read The Manual.
