He is asking about perl. With perl you open a filehandle to a sendmail pipe and basically just print to the filehandle. You send your own headers and do your own encoding, and that is where people get a bit confused with perl and sendmail because you have to do what the email client would be doing, sendmail does exactly what its name says, sends mail. IIRC, mail is a little command line client thingy that uses your MTA. But I could be wrong. I know that "mail" gives me my mail and "d root" gets rid of crons messages :-).
