Perl is probably the easiest for something like this, but then again if
you were a perl programmer you would have already thought of that. It'd
be as easy slurping the text file into an array and running a foreach
loop on the array, sending them off to the Mail::Sendmail module. Would
take less than 20 lines of code to do it.

If you are willing to spend a nominal amount of time learning some very
basic perl you could have this done in an hour or two. If you already
know perl you could have it done in 5 minutes. :)
