I have looked on Google and CPAN and I don't have any answers...I want to write PERL code to do this, not use a service. I can do it easily with SENDMAIL but what I've seen looks like Net::SMTP is a good choice...the CPAN notes say do a 
new{'mailhost'}

and I don't know what 'mailhost' means for VERIZON. I am not asking for a code-writing service...I am a programmer but can't find this particular answer and to be frank, the hypothesis that I'm looking for someone to write code for me is insulting. (but thanks anyway for your helpful answer)
