Use MIME::Lite. Configure it to use SMTP instead of sendmail (should be the default on Win32), configure it to use the requested mail server with a proper username and password. The first two examples in the Synopsis section of the documentation should really be helpful. Copy the second example (right below "Create a multipart message [...] and send it SMTP"), insert your e-mail addresses and host names, and run it. Note that you will very likely need to provide an account name and a password for sending via yahoo, so add the AuthUser and AuthPass parameters to send, as shown further down in the documentation.

Adapt the code to suit your needs. If you run into problems, show us your code and the error messages.
