Most on this list will agree sendmail is one of the Internet's first "killer
apps". But because interfacing directly with the sendmail binary can be
confusing and bug prone there are modules on the CPAN that use sendmail as
the transport mechanism. These modules abstract sendmail's intricacies from
the user, providing a simple API to send mail. Therefore, modules are the
preferred way to send mail from a perl program.
