The easier way, and way that I use on my systems, is with Net::SMTP if you have a SMTP server on you enviroment. The other way is to use OLE to talk with Outlook or any other email client, but this is the hard way, very hard :)

Here's one way. Please note that this was just pulled from some code I had lying around that sends an email through outlook (contrary to some of my contemporaries it wasn't really all that hard ;-) - as such, there are a few functions referenced in this snippet that are not provided.
my( $outlook, $message ) = open_outlook();
build_email( $message, $maindate, $file );
send_email( $message );
sub build_email {
my( $message, $date, $file ) = @_;
my $displaydate = format_date( $date );
$message->{'To'} = q{toaddress@domain.com};
$message->{'Subject'} = q{This is the subject};
( $message->{'Body'} =<<" EOBODY" ) =~ s/^ //gm;
blah blah blah
EOBODY
my $attachment = $message->Attachments();
$attachment->Add( $file );
return 1;
}
sub send_email {
my $message = shift;
$message->Send();
return 1;
}
sub open_outlook {
my $outlook = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject( 'Outlook.Application' )
|| Win32::OLE->new( 'Outlook.Application', \&OleQuit )
|| die "can't create Outlook.Application: is it installed? : $!
+: $^E";
my $message = $outlook->CreateItem(0)
|| die "can't create new message : $! : $^E";
return( $outlook, $message );
}

here using CDO that now ship with xp e 2k3 instead of CDONTS. This code run without an SMPT on local machine specifiing a mail server. #!perl
use strict;
use warnings;#amen
use Win32::OLE ;
my $Message = Win32::OLE->new("CDO.Message");
#francobollo means stamp...
my $francobollo= Win32::OLE->new ("CDO.Configuration") ;
$francobollo->{Fields}->{"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/confi

there is also a commercial sendmail equivalent for windows (google it), but from my experience its more trouble than its worth. Net::SMTP is the better choice, as other monks have suggested.

Thanks for all of your advice, I will try and let you know the result

Been a while since I used it, but I used to do it
like this...
My Script Here
...for monitoring ongoing tests from my home an hour away.
That script checks a log file every N minutes for updates,
then emails it if changed. Steal anything you want out of
there if it suits your needs.
