Big Nose Bird Script on Windows NT

I've moved hosting to www.Webhost4life.com - a really fast Windows NT host.  

I can't get a simple perl script to send mail on Windows NT.

The web page is at:
http://207.182.248.123/ag/communicate/feedback_testing_nt.asp

The editable part of the *.pl file is at bottom.  Note the first line and the two send mail options . . .


$SMTP_SERVER="mail.webhost4life.com";

#OR IF SMTP IS UNAVAILABLE TO YOU, USE SEND_MAIL-
# BUT NOT BOTH!

#$SEND_MAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail";





I'm willing to add points to get this solved.

Do you need to make this particular script work, or can you use another script to do the emailing?
