Hi Monks,
<p>I have some, but limited, experience with PERL. I am trying use Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail to send emails. I tried using the sample code provided with the module but can't get it to work. My OS is Windows 8.1, 64 bit. Here is the code I used (but with my real password:</p>
<code>use strict;
use warnings;
use Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail;
my $mail=Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail->new( -smtp=>'smtp.gmail.com',
-login=>'IHipschman@gmail.com',
-pass=>'mypassword');
$mail->send(-to=>'IHipschman@yahoo.com', -subject=>'Hello!',
-body=>'Just testing it<br>Bye!',-contenttype=>'text/html');
$mail->bye;</code>
<p>The response I receive is:</p>
<code>C:\Users\Ivan\Documents\BSA\EMAIL\GmailSend>perl tryitmodified.pl
Could not connect to SMTP server
Can't call method "send" without a package or object reference at tryitmodified.
pl line 8.</code>.
<p> Can anyone suggest what the problem is? I have tried running from an administrator level command prompt and turning off the Windows firewall.</p>
Thanks
