use strict; # ALWAYS! use Net::SMTP; # Yes, this will work on windows. # You need to fill in the variables. # Read the perldoc for more info on using SMTP. my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('$mailserver_url') or die $!; $smtp->mail( $from ); $smtp->to( $to ); $smtp->data(); $smtp->datasend("To: $to\n"); $smtp->datasend("From: $from\n"); $smtp->datasend("Subject: $subject\n"); $smtp->datasend("\n"); # done with header $smtp->datasend($message); $smtp->dataend(); $smtp->quit(); # all done. message sent.

    Small error:
    my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('$mailserver_url') or die $!;
    should be:
    my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($mailserver_url) or die $!;
    or
    my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new("$mailserver_url") or die $!;
    Single quotes aren't interpolated!
