Mime::Lite prematurely ends the script

jonschwartz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a script using Mime::Lite to send messages via a local SMTP server.

The script currently dies if the SMTP server goes down for some reason. I want it not to do that but I can't find a method for Mime::Lite to keep it from shutting down the whole script because of an error.

Please help, Monks!
