Yes, I am.
If you are suggesting that I use Mail::sendmail instead (are you?), the reason is that
I got this code from Novell's website and it seemed to be a useful and easy to
understand piece of code. As a perl beginner, I also thought that understanding the
process might be useful in the future... although I remember the discussion regarding
hand-rolled CGI subs. I would like to continue with my "low level" script unless
there are valid security concerns regarding its use. I will also look into
Mail:sendmail as an alternative. If I see that it is easier to use, I'll definitely
switch.

You shouldn't have to be using anything that low-level to send email from
a script! Are you actually binding to a socket to do this?
