Missing (defined($exe) mail prog on WINNT

[rob]

Hello list

Ive tried to experiment with using perl for mail (calling form another 
program -Excel sheet macro) So I installed
**MailTools-1.50**

and used an example form Mail::Mailer at CPAN.
http://search.cpan.org/author/MARKOV/MailTools-1.50/Mail/Send.pm

When the program runs I get the following error, which seems to be 
saying I need a system mail program... something like blat or sendmail, 
qmail if it were Linux.

Im on NT 4 Server and currently using cdonts but I'd like to implement 
perl instead. what do I need to do? Id *really * rather not install blat 
as thats just another level of complexity...


C:\1myperl>amail.pl
Died at F:/Perl/site/lib/Mail/Mailer.pm line 290.

line 290     # Fork and start a mailer
    (defined($exe) && open($self,"|-"))
    || $self->exec($exe, $args, \@to)
    || die $!;


now on the other hand... if I
C:\1myperl>perl -MMAIL -le "print(MAIL->VERSION)"

Can't locate MAIL.pm in @INC (@INC contains: F:/Perl/lib 
F:/Perl/site/lib .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

I do have

F:\Perl\site\lib\Mail\Mailer>dir /b > dir.txt which produces
mail.pm
qmail.pm
rfc822.pm
sendmail.pm
smtp.pm
test.pm


Thanks rob
