Look.
Open up a Terminal window. (Terminal lives in the /Applications/Utilities
folder on your hard drive; Perl folks tend to use it lot, so you may want
to consider dragging a link to it on your Dock.)
When a window pops up, cut and paste this line into that window:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::Sendmail'
You will be asked for your password; enter it.
You may be asked a series of questions; feel free to answer them using the
defaults offered -- you can generally just keep hitting Enter here and the
results will work.
The CPAN shell will begin installing modules, including Mail::Sendmail.
When it's done, you'll be back at the prompt you started with.
At this point, you should be able to run scripts that use Mail::Sendmail.
I can't think of a way to describe this process any more clearly or
succinctly, aside from the raw cut & paste approach, which WILL work:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::Sendmail'
-- and then just hit enter whenever you're asked a question.
If that doesn't work -- and it probably will, but just in case -- then cut
and paste the full output from your shell into an email to the list, and
people here can take a look at where things are going wrong.
