You could also use the mail command: 
$subject = "Mail Message";
$to = "name@server.com";

open(MAIL, "|mail -s '$subject' $to");

print MAIL "message body" 
print MAIL "\n.\n"; # to quit

close(MAIL);

    If available 'mailx' gives more flexibility, specially when using the tilda sequences, for example if you have a the contents of data file to send you can do something like $example = `mailx whoever\@whereever.com <<! ~<$file_name !`;

      Hmm, managed to lose the rest of my code. The point was you can include files in the mail message with a simple ~<$filename call
