in thread Net::SMTP::SSL ACK!!

I agree with your suggestion to simply use the newer module with integrated support, but the questioner seems to be making an explicit distinction "I can fall back to TLS, but it would be nice to have it work with SSL", so I decided to point out that "SSL" might not actually be what is wanted.

    Ah so.

    So - What I really need is to make sure the version of Net::SMTP on the server is a current one so I don't need to worry about the TLS/SSL distinction and write to that.

    I should have been more clear, I guess. I'm in the slow process of updating some legacy web software. The 'original' code used Net::SMTP::TLS which was probably a shiny new Module when the code in that section was originally written.

    Now, off to rewrite some code using Net::SMTP and not worrying about Net::SMTP::TLS ...
