in reply to SMTP and Authentication
Another alternative that might work well for you, if you're simply trying to send mail from your script, is the Mail::Mailer module, which is quite simple to use and will autodetect your MTA (Message Transfer Agent) automagically.
It's pretty slick and has worked very well for me; some of my scripts periodically poll different services on my OpenBSD boxes and kick out a report to me (using Mail::Mailer) if there is something I should know about.
Interestingly, if Mail::Mailer can't detect Sendmail, mail, Mail, or mailx on your system, it will use the aforementioned Net::SMTP module to deliver your message. ;-)
