in thread Is it possible to use Gmail's API w/ perl?
I apologize for not being clear enough. I'll try again.
Gmail uses OAuth 2.0 based access. I can access it with simple SMTP/IMAP, but Gmail doesn't like it (it thinks I'm insecure). So, I want to do it in their way. They provide instructions on how to do it in Python, PHP, Ruby and other languages, but not Perl. I looked in cpan, and there seem to be some modules that claim to do the work, but I couldn't be sure they're what I need.
So how would you access Gmail using their OAuth? what module would you use? or is there some other way? |

Have you looked at what CPAN offers on OAuth modules? There are various that you could use if IMAP is not what you want to use.

Yes, of course I looked there, but I couldn't understand which one is the module I need. That's why I asked which module would you use, if all you want is read/send mail via gmail.
I'm new to this OAuth thing, and don't yet fully understand how it works. I guess I'll have to take one module, and learn how to work with it. But I don't want to spend much of time only to discover it's the wrong module.
