Haven't tried this, but in php.ini there is this setting:
; This directive allows you to disable certain functions for security reasons.
disable_functions =

So you ought to change that to:
disable_functions = mail?

restart apache after making chnages also.

If you use vi, you can
:find disable_functions to locate the right spot.

As i mentioned to you earlier, the perl error is nothing to worry about :)
