That has been asked often enough that you should be able to find answers
and scripts in the list archives.

This may be a problem. Try several methods: open a pipe to sendmail, open
a pipe to mail, use the Net::SMTP module.

You don't have to use a secret key on the server unless you plan on having

is the public key part of the keypair you created just for this
