Using Mail::Sendeasy to send mail via Gmail smtp

[nanouk]

Hi all, I must be stupid or totally inapt but I haven't been able to find a decent rundown on the usage of the Mail::SendEasy perl module with Gmail authenticated smtp server. Could anybody show me the ropes? Please...

What are you having trouble with? Can you show what you tried? Did you read the basic information that google supplies?

FWIW, it looks to me like Google requires TLS encryption and I don't see any sign that Mail::SendEasy supports that.

Thanks for replying.
That would be the problem then...
Do you know of any perl module that would supply that functionality without (too many) dependencies?

I'd start by looking for something that supplies that functionailty at all. Only you can decide what's "too many dependencies" :)

Do you need to send both plain and html versions of the message? If so, you might need a separate MIME module in addition to whatever sends the message.

Untried by me, I see Mail::Webmail::Gmail. I don't think Mail::Sender does TLS. You might have best luck installing ssmtp, configured to use gmail (see http://www.destr0yr.com/article.php/Gmail_and_sSMTP).

Email::Send::Gmail maybe? At last I remembered I read about it in this post on http://use.perl.org/.
