Anonymous Monk,

Perl does not come with a mail server as part of the package.
You should look at MIME::Lite for sending email.
If you read the documentation you can see how to use this module to send email using a non sendmail mailserver:

MIME::Lite->send('smtp', "smtp.myisp.net");
[download]

You may need someone else to setup a mailserver for you, if you do not already have one.
Should you need help installing modules, look at the Tutorials section of this site.

Hope this helps.
