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.
