Please elaborate the restrictions you have. Do the admins revise your scripts and decide wether they are acceptable or not? Do they allow you to use any core perl module? Do they generally allow arbitrary/SMTP IP traffic originating from that box at all?

You could use Socket;, connect to the remote MTA and speak SMTP yourself. It's not that hard for simple purposes. Here's a sample telnet session transcript: 

$ telnet localhost 25
! Trying 127.0.0.1...
! Connected to localhost.
! Escape character is '^]'.
< 220 qwurx ESMTP
> HELO localhost
< 250 qwurx
> MAIL FROM: <shmem@qwurx>
< 250 ok
> RCPT TO: <shmem@qwurx>
< 250 ok
> DATA
< 354 go ahead
> From: shmem <shmem@qwurx>
> To: myself <shmem@qwurx>
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

< 221 qwurx
! Connection closed by foreign host.

Lines beginning with "! " are diagnostics from telnet. Lines beginning with "> " are sent to the server, those with "< " are read from remote. See also RFC 2821.
