Look into MailTools-1.15

perl -MCPAN -e shell
[blah blah]
cpan> i /MailTools/

I'd suggest a short-and-simple Net::SMTP script but apparently from my
testing, the thing (sample script) sends non-compliant rfc822 headers. I
haven't spent much time figuring out why, since I discovered the existence
of MailTools.
