in reply to Mail::Sendmail or NET::SMTP

Take a look in Mail::SendEasy. It's based in SMTP and not in the sendmail program in linux, soo, is platform independent. It also has SMTP authentication and attachments, since you tell that you are using an external SMTP server, what generally need a password. Other good thing is that Mail::SendEasy is a self contained module, soo, it doesn't have dependencies.

MIME::Lite will be my 2nd option, and is well used by a lot of people.

    Mail::Sendmail does not rely on the sendmail application, and in fact, requires only Perl (and a network connection) to work.
