You can use MIME::Lite to do this
See this sample code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
use strict;

use MIME::Lite;
 
# SendTo email id

my $to_id = 'yourid@mail.com';
 
# create a new MIME Lite based email

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new

(

Subject => "HTML Mail",

From    => 'yyy@zzz.com',

To      => $to_id,

Type    => 'text/html',

Data    => '<H1>Hello</H1><br>This is sample html mail.<br>'

);
 
$msg->send();
