See the last issue of The Perl Journal ("TPJ") for a good article on using the SMS module for sending things.

Other approach is to use an email account and MIME::Lite to send the messages. Given the addresses you can phone, page, or just mail people. Trick is to keep the message short (e.g., "Call Jow Bloe +1 234 567 8900\n\nfoobar database has blah\n").
