in thread Using Email::Stuff to send SMTP mail through GMail

Well I'm not doing any better than you, although being on Win32 may distort things. Got some error messages though...

I ended up spliting up the call string in order to intervene in the setup steps: 

my  $objst = Email::Stuff
        ->to('tshinnic@io.com')
        ->from('tshinnic@gmail.com')
        ->subject('Test Subject')
        ->text_body('This is a test.');
# This forces Net::SMTP::SSL to be loaded
    $objst->using( 'SMTP', ssl => 1 );
# Which allows us to do this ...
    $IO::Socket::SSL::DEBUG = 1;
my  $rc = $objst->send('SMTP',
        ssl      => 1,
        Host     => 'smtp.gmail.com',
        PeerPort => 465,
        username => 'tshinnic',
        password => 'xxx',
        Debug    => 1,
    );

which finally gets us an actual error message!

which is of very little help to me, anyway...

After taking the same extraordinary measures, what error messages do you see?

    Doesn't matter if it is on Win32 or *nix, I could not build Email::Stuff onWin32, so I tried it on one of my CentOS testing servers:
    #!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Email::Stuff;
my  $objst = Email::Stuff
        ->to('jophnday@wordsnimages.com')
        ->from('praecipuus@gmail.com')
        ->subject('Test Subject')
        ->text_body('This is a test.');
# This forces Net::SMTP::SSL to be loaded
    $objst->using( 'SMTP', ssl => 1 );
# Which allows us to do this ...
    $IO::Socket::SSL::DEBUG = 1;
my  $rc = $objst->send('SMTP',
        ssl      => 1,
        Host     => 'smtp.gmail.com',
        PeerPort => 465,
        username => 'praecipuus',
        password => 'xx***xx',
        Debug    => 1,
    );

    Result:

      Same here. Exact same error message. My research has led me nowhere to debug that.

        This is line 37:

        $SMTP = Net::SMTP::SSL->new($host, %args);

        No freaking idea.

    That is exactly the same error message I get now. Off the top of my head, I have no idea what it means. Off to figure it out!
