Everyone seems to have their preference for a mail module. I use Mail::Sendmail. It's platform independent, yehaw.
Sample code (previously posted here, and here):
use Mail::Sendmail;
# Create the message hash
my %mail = (
To => 'You <your@address.com>', # To address..
From => 'Me <my@address.com>', # From address..
Message => 'Hello, world!', # The message body..
Smtp => 'your.mail.server' # erase this if you want to use "loc
+alhost" (default)
);
# Send the message
unless (sendmail(%mail)) {
# Error!
}
# All is well.
Update:
Whoops, i forgot to add that, the Mail::Sendmail FAQ talks about sending HTML email.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
