Yup. Which is actually why as you progress this will become less and
less Linux-specific. You may want to eventually move to OSS-Dev (since
you'll be using open source / free software tools), or if you're bent on
using Perl, the ph-perl list.

Your MTA doesn't need to have Perl installed. You can use Net::SMTP,
which is part of libnet or if you're up-to-date, Perl 5.8.0. I presume
of course that your MTA allows itself to be a relay host for internal
nodes. If this is not the case sue your admin.

I've been learning a bit of Perl during this sem, having been forced to
use it for a project, and the most awesome lesson I learned is that
<http://search.cpan.org/> is everyone's best friend. Next of course to
Google and <http://marc.free.net.ph/>. ;)
