I was provided a script ... You can use Net/SMTP.pm module. ... Please check for the email module. Could someone provide me with an example string ... Is there a specific place within the script that it needs to be?

Trying to find out, what it is you are looking for. "IPOWER's UNIX platform" is something I had not heard before, ever.

I followed the link you provided and found "Net/SMTP.pm" mentioned there. Maybe you will have to install it if you haven't done it yet.

If you need documentation for Net::SMTP, it has an auth method for authentication, maybe that is helpful.

Otherwise, judging from your post, everything should be done in your script already. As I don't know said script, I cannot divine what else needs to be told. (Authentication should be done early, probably...)
