Your problem is simply the argument quoting, by putting single quotes around the arguments in your MIME::Lite object, you prevent interpolation, so the headers in your message look like this:

To: $email_to
From: $email_from
Subject: $email_subject

$email_text

Obviously those addresses aren't deliverable, so you need to fix the quoting, just changing your $msg object creation to this should solve the problem:

$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
    From     => $email_from,
    To       => $email_to,
    Subject  => $email_subject,
    Type     => 'multipart/mixed',
    Data     => $email_text,
);
