If you are using unix you could use sendmail, which is a very common unix program.

$mail_prog = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";

if ($email eq "no") {
#Do your html stuff
}
else {
&SendMail($reciptent, $sender);
}

sub SendMail { 
    my ($recipient,$sender) = @_; 
    open(MAIL, "|$mail_prog -t") || &error("Could not send out emails"
);
    print MAIL "To: $recipient \n";
    print MAIL "From: $sender <$sender>\n";
    print MAIL "Subject: database entry\n";
    print MAIL "added\n\n";
    print MAIL"-------------------------------------------------------
+----------------------------------\n";
    print MAIL "";
    print MAIL "\n\n";
    print MAIL "\n\n";
    close (MAIL);

  } # end SendMail function

Note: I borrowed most of code from this node, and I haven't tested. I hope that this is what you are after.

Update: Hmmmm, It seems that I may have completely misread the question. Oh well, I haven't slept in over forty hours, so I suppose I can be excused : )
