in thread Regrettable module names

Another poorly-named module, one of my workhorses, is Mail::Sendmail, which sends mail. It does not, however, require the sendmail program to do its job.

For that matter, Sendmail itself is a regrettable name. It probably made sense at the time, but is no longer the way to send mail.
