[Perl-beginners] How to use Perl for email

There're lots of modules for sending mail on CPAN.like:

Mail::Sender
Email::Send
MIME::Lite
Net::SMTP
...

which method do you use and what error message did you get?

Yes including code and errors would have been more helpful on my
part. I am attempting to use Mail::SendMail with the following code:

#!C:\Perl\lib\mail

use strict;
use warnings;
use Mail::SendMail;


my %mail = ( To => '[email protected]',
From => '[email protected]',
Message => "test mail"
);

sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;

print "OK. Log says:\n", $Mail::Sendmail::log;

__END__

The error I am getting is:
'undefined subroutine &main::sendmail called at C:perl\lib\mail
\mail.pl line 13.

As best I can tell this error is actually popping up from the
sendmail.pm subroutine sub sendmail. But I could be mistaken.

Case matters, even if you are on Windows.
You are; see my remark above.

From: johnnyp <[email protected]>
The module is named Mail::Sendmail ! Notice the lowercase "m" in the
middle of "Sendmail". Perl is case sensitive even if the underlying
filesystem is not. (I do wish Perl emited a warning in such cases.)

Perl is able to find and load the ...\Mail\SendMail.pm (because the
Windows filesystem doesn't care whether you ask it for Sendmail.pm,
SendMail.pm or SENDMAIL.PM), but fails to initialize it properly ...
it tries to initialize module Mail::SendMail, but there is only
Mail::Sendmail in the file.
