[tpm] sending email from cgi on windows

[Vinny Alves]

I haven't touched Windows in quite a while, but you could check if
Windows/IIS has .pl files associated with Perl (if memory serves, Windows
bypasses the shebang line). If executing the script isn't the issue, then
you can try to set MIME::Lite to send using smtp with the following (taken
from CPAN docs)

As a class method:

    MIME::Lite->send('smtp','some.host',Debug=>0);

or when sending the message:

    ### use Net:SMTP to do the sending
    $msg->send('smtp','some.host', Debug=>1 );


Cheers
