1. Install ssmtp from Cygwin.
2. Run /usr/bin/ssmtp-config to configure.
3. If needed edit the config file
    /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf)
and add your mail hub.  For example:
    mailhub=smtp.comcast.net:587
4. In Perl, you use:

    my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                      From     => 'me@home.net',
                      To       => 'someone@yahoo.com',
                      Subject  => "This is a test",
                      Type     => 'AUTO',
                      Encoding => 'base64',
                      Path     => $file
                    );

    $msg->send('sendmail', '/usr/sbin/ssmtp', 'someone@yahoo.com');

Good luck
