Hmm. So you use (mentioned ActivPerl) Windoze?
Maybe you want to look for some simple open source MTA. Dont know if the win32 Client OS has an smtp server integrated, but google for "Freeware Smtp Server Windowsosname" windowsosname=windows XP e.g. should help you or search at sourceforge.net ...
If you want to send mail to some external adress you should use your "smarthost" at your ISP or an "SMTP Relay Server" but dont send mail direct.
