sending mail from a perl program on xp

[Kevin J Wholley]

How do I write a perl program to send mail from an xp box?
specifically, I am writing a clearcase trigger that sends mail
on a checkout. This functions perfectly from unix but I also
need it to run from xp for my clearcase users that use the
clearcase client on the desk top

Use a module. There are quite a few to choose from. My personal
favorite is Mail::Sender.

I installed the lastest version of cygwin and using
elim, a drop-in replacement for sendmail and that worked
for me.
