Just like that. Thanks for demystifying that for me.

the Net::SMTP methods implement the SMTP protocol. Net::SMTP::to (and
cc and bcc) simply set the data to be passed as a RCPT TO: command.
This set's the envelope recipient on a mail, which is how your mta (and
others) know who the mail is going to.
cc: and bcc: (and things like Date: Message-ID: Subject:. etc.) are
body headers. They appear in the body of the mail but are not used for
routing information. So these should be done like:
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost');
$smtp->mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]'); # set's the envelope from address
via the MAIL FROM: protocol directive
$smtp->to('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'); #
sets the envelope recipient for routing purposes via RCPT TO: directive
$data =
"Subject: This is a test
To: you\@yourdomain.com
cc: bob\@bobs.com
This is the body of my mail";
$smtp->data($data);
Now you have you as the To: addressee, bob as the cc: and jill is bcc'd.
