Re: How to send text msg with perl??

davido's advice is good, but there's an even easier way for most people. Find out from your cell provider if they support an email to SMS gateway, and what your email address for your phone would be. Then it's just using Net::SMTP or whatever else you use to send email to that address.

I've been using this for years. My home router/firewall system sends an email to my email/SMS gateway when its public-facing IP address changes so I can always connect to my home network by IP.

This service is usually pretty cheap. Your plan includes this if you're a U.S. Cellular customer, for example. Take a look at a list of SMTP to SMS gateways for different carriers and try yours out. You might have to call your customer service office to activate the service with certain carriers, even if it's free.
