What is it that you don't like about CGI::Application::Mailform.

Have you looked at MIME::Lite or Net::SMTP, which make it pretty darn
easy to send a message?  If they're not what you need, tell us why and
maybe someone can make a better suggestion.

I've used MIME::Lite happily in the past.  No matter what package you
use you'll want to do a good job vetting the information that's
submitted before you use it to send mail, lest you end up an unwitting
spam relay.
