Now we're getting somewhere! Unfortunately, I don't have access to the
Cookbook at the moment, but I'll do a bit of guessing. If I'm wrong or
you need extra help it will probably be worth your while to actually
post your code.
My guess is that you have forgotton the line
use Mail::Mailer;
near the top of your program, and that you are using a version
of Perl < 5.6.1 which is the current stable version. That's probably
not a problem as long as it's not too old.

I suspect you'll get it for free if you're willing to be a party to its
creation. For my part, I wouldn't bother with anything so small on a
commercial basis. I've already spent more time writing mail than I
would writing the program :-) Others may feel differently.

Sorry if my first message seemed a little curt. You came across as
wanting a solution without investing any effort. I'm glad to see that's
not the case.
Next time, you may find it to your advantage to use a more descriptive
subject line and provide as many details as you can. That way you'll be
much more likely to receive the help you're after.
