How to connect to a mail server as a user (through Tor) and send e-mails from a hidden service webmail in perl?

I have an account with the Tor-based e-mail provider Mail2Tor. Their hidden service has been down lately; therefore I cannot access my e-mail account either to send or receive e-mail. I have been attempting to write a Perl script designed to connect to the mail server (hidden service) so I can send mail. There are two main problems with my configuration: one, I cannot connect it to the mail hidden service, and two, the instructions I read for creation of a mail client was actually for a locally hosted one, not a remote one.

The original code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Protocol::Socks;

my $url= ""; #your url here
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent(agent => 'perl');
$ua -> proxy([qw(http https)] => 'socks://127.0.0.1:9050');

print "To:n";
$to=<STDIN>;
$from='';#your email here
print "Subject:n";
$subject=<STDIN>;
print "Body:n";
$message=<STDIN>;

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");

print MAIL "To: $ton";
print MAIL "From: $fromn";
print MAIL "Subject: $subjectnn";
print MAIL $message;

close(MAIL);
print "Email Sent!";
exit;

If anyone can help me solve these two problems, I would be quite grateful.
