Anyone see anything wrong with this approach? I've been using it for a while... 
sub SendEmail {

    my ($to,$from,$subject,$msg) = @_;
    my $host = '192.168.193.10'; # your mailhost
    
    if ($to) {
    
        use Net::SMTP;        
        $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($host);    
        $smtp->mail($from);    
        $smtp->to($to);        
        $smtp->data();
        $smtp->datasend("From: $from\n");    
        $smtp->datasend("To: $to\n");    
        $smtp->datasend("Subject: $subject\n");
        $smtp->datasend("\n");
        $smtp->datasend("$msg\n");    
        $smtp->dataend();    
        $smtp->quit;
        return(1);
    } else {
        return(0);
    }
}

The error cases could use some improovement, I know... But, HTH!

UPDATED (ala Slashdot):
Sorry about this post, it doesn't reply the asked question...
I guess I just got carried away.
