Windows considerations

The get-updates.ps1 Powershell script must be located in the same directory as the Perl6 script.

SMTP client considerations

• Sender authentication is not supported.
• Encrypted transmission is not supported.
• The current hostname and $from email address must have no restrictions to send email messages to $smtp-port at $smtp-server.
• The $to email address must exist at $smtp-server email server system.
