I'm having problems with Email::Send::Gmail. I'm using the example code on CPAN which I reproduced below and it all works fine on my local Windows machine. However, on my remote AWS server I just get the 'Email::Send::Gmail: error connecting to server smtp.gmail.com' error message and I can't seem to work out what the problem is.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
  
use Email::Send;
use Email::Send::Gmail;
use Email::Simple::Creator;

my $email = Email::Simple->create(
  header => [
      From    => 'myemail@gmail.com',
      To      => 'recipient@gmail.com',
      Subject => 'Subject',
  ],
  body => 'Hello World!',
);

my $sender = Email::Send->new(
  {   mailer      => 'Gmail',
      mailer_args => [
          username => 'myemail@gmail.com',
          password => 'password',
      ]
  }
);

eval { $sender->send($email) };
die "Error sending email: $@" if $@;

Looking through the code, the error message is generated by this bit of code in Email/Send/Gmail.pm:

# mostly cribbed from Email::Send::SMTP
sub send {
    my ( $class, $message, @args ) = @_;
    my %args = @args;
    my ( $username, $password ) = @args{qw[username password]};
    my $smtp = Net::SMTP::SSL->new(
        'smtp.gmail.com',
        Port  => 465,
        Debug => 0,
        )
        || croak(
        'Email::Send::Gmail: error connecting to server smtp.gmail.com
+');

Any suggestions would be most gratefully received
