Re: help on socket to smtp on TLS/SSL

[Corion]

Why don't you use an established module like MIME::Lite, or find out how MIME::Lite does sending via Gmail?

Personally, I would try the approach outlined in Re^2: Mime::Lite and SMTP authentication?.

well i was able to, using socket after searching on google thanks to google for the insight, am new to perl i was sure it's possible cos this happen in php

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use IO::Socket::INET;
use MIME::Base64;
my $cr = pack('H*','0D');
my $lf = pack('H*','0A');
