One especially common bit of Perl code is opening a pipe
to sendmail:
open(MAIL, '|/usr/lib/sendmail -t') or die $!;
This is fine for systems programming when sendmail is
known to be available. But it is not fine for many non-
Unix systems, and even some Unix systems that may not have
sendmail installed. If a portable solution is needed, see
the Mail::Send and Mail::Mailer modules in the MailTools
distribution. Mail::Mailer provides several mailing
methods, including mail, sendmail, and direct SMTP (via
Net::SMTP) if a mail transfer agent is not available.
The rule of thumb for portable code is: Do it all in
portable Perl, or use a module (that may internally
implement it with platform-specific code, but expose a
common interface).
