I don't have sendmail or a sendmail-like wrapper on my box
and I have installed Mail​::Send in order to let perlbug use
the working smtp server on localhost. It apparently consulted
it since it used part of the smtp server's helo line in its guess
as to my e-mail address, but when it came Sending time, the perlbug
tool once again informed me that it couldn't figure out how to send
the message, instead of locating and using the localhost smtpd.

There doesn't seem to be an option for specifying what smtp server
to use, at least not in the synopsis.

From artagnon@gmail.com

This is a bug report for perl from artagnon@​gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.17.10.

Subject​: [PATCH] utils/perlbug.PL​: recognize mstmtp as a valid sendmail
MIME-Version​: 1.0
Content-Type​: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------1.8.2.64.gddf7ded.dirty"

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--------------1.8.2.64.gddf7ded.dirty
Content-Type​: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=fixed
Content-Transfer-Encoding​: 8bit

perlbug fails to use the modern sendmail-compatible alternative,
msmtp. Fix _probe_for_sendmail to look for the msmtp binary in
addition to sendmail binaries.
