SYNOPSIS

        package foo;
        use Meta::Utils::Net::Mail qw();
        try {
                Meta::Utils::Net::Mail::send("mark@veltzer.org","Hello from Meta::Utils::Net::Mail");
        }
        catch Error::Simple with {
                Meta::Utils::Output::print("unable to send mail to mark");
        }

DESCRIPTION

This module sends mail who whoever you want to. I do not recommend using this as this uses a direct sendmail call which is not portable at all (sendmail has to be in the users path and other problems). Alternatives are: Install Mail::Sendmail and use it or use my object oriented interface above Mail::Sendmail - Meta::Info::MailMessage.

-stop using a temp file at ALL!!!
