Email from a Perl Script....?

Hi,

how do i send an email from a Perl script?

i.e. what is Perl's equivalent to mailx?

i have my script working where it prints out an error to a screen, but instead i'd like it sent to email.

any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Search on CPAN with "mail" will yield many results.
You may try Mail::Send.
