Normally, this behavior is an attempt to find out its working directory's full path. It's also normal to be able to tell it that information via some other means.
As far as I can tell, Embperl::Mail is not doing this. I seem to recall that something that Net::SMTP requires does, and I believe that's what Embperl::MAIL uses to send mail. If it isn't, MAIL::Sendmail definitely requires something which has this behavior. My memory is a bit vague on this, because I only encountered it due to trying to track back another bit of code I was having difficulty with. Sorry to not have a complete answer, and to take so long to do it; I really thought someone else on the group would've known the full details off-hand.
