We should rather use CPAN modules than opening a pipe to sendmail ...

Yes, I would agree with Marc.

We are doing the following inside our Dancer apps:


        # the dumper shows \x{20ac}, so html and text are decoded.
        email {
            %args,
              body   => encode( 'UTF-8', $text ),
              type   => 'text',
              attach => {
                Charset  => 'utf-8',
                Data     => encode( 'UTF-8', $html ),
                Encoding => "quoted-printable",
                Type     => "text/html"
              },
              multipart => 'alternative',
        };

Here "email" is basically a wrapper around Email::Sender 
(https://metacpan.org/pod/Dancer2::Plugin::Email#DESCRIPTION).
