Dear Monks,
I am not an expert in email coding, so please answer all my questions with tolerance :)
When I use email related perl modules, do I need to care about operation systems?
Do I need to think about whether or not I have an email server in my system?

I create and test my perl/cgi based web application on my Windows laptop and then port it to the external web host, like I guess many do. So I would prefer to have an email module which:

1) works on witdows, unix and linux platforms without thinking about email server, etc.

2) since I want an easy way of transfering my application from my laptop to the webhost I would prefer to use the module that can be put to my local lib together with all my subs.

If possible, could you suggest such module please.
