Lets get this straight:

1. You want to script to interact with a web browser
2. You want the web browser to send an email
3. You want this done periodically

Hmm... not sure what lynx has to do with this.  You need
the LWP modules from CPAN, which allows you to download
webpages easily.  This solves point 1.

Then you need to find a module that sends email, and
there is many on CPAN for this.  Go and explore!  This
solves point 2.

And finally, point 3, you need to use a schedular just
like the cron daemon on Unix.
