You have already been given an answer to this: the only client that
knows how to talk the Exchange protocol is Outlook, so you have to be
using Win32 and then use Win32::OLE to make Outlook do what you want.

If you just want to send mail you can send it straight to your ISP's
smtp server (which will be a smarthost) using any of the email-sending
modules on CPAN.
