It's entirely possible that your ISP either a) doesn't have sendmail installed, b) doesn't allow you to use it, or c) DOES allow you to use it, but installed it in a non-standard place (that is, other than /usr/lib/sendmail).

But that's ok. There's many more ways to skin a cat. Check out the Mail::Mailer module to help you out. This module will actually search for whatever mail program is on your ISP and use what it finds. Sendmail isn't the only game in town, and if your ISP has mailx, mail, or Mail you're in business. And if none of those work, the module also lets you send mail directly through an SMTP server (assuming you have access to one somewhere, perhaps through your personal email account?) The documentation is pretty good, it's easy to use, and it's good to get used to platform-independent e-mail. Enjoy!
