Zitoune has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm using NET::SMTP to send a mail with a zip attach to it ( MIME::Lite ).
The problem is that when i'm sending my mails it's going through the mail server as a guest, but now i need to put a username, password and name server if i want to send mails, but i can't find a way of doing it, could you help me ??

Exemple : 
$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
      From     =>"Me",
      To       =>'Someone',
      Subject  =>'Zip Files',
      Type     =>'Application/zip',
      Encoding =>'base64',
      Path     =>'Dummy.zip'
                     );
    $str = $msg->as_string;
    
    #$smtp = Net::SMTP->new("mailhost");

    $smtp->mail($ENV{USERNAME});
    $smtp->to(you@you.com);
    
    $smtp->data();
    $smtp->datasend($str);
    $smtp->dataend();
    
    $smtp->quit;

    Not sure if MIME::Lite supports authentication.

    Try Mail::Sender by jenda. It supports authentication to the SMTP server. 
    $sender->MailMsg({
   smtp    => 'mail.server.com',
   from    => 'somebody@perlmonks.org',
   to      => 'tcf22@perlmonks.org',
   subject => 'Sample',
   msg     => 'Mail Sender Sample',
   auth    => 'NTLM',
   authid  => 'tom',
   authpwd => 'pass'
}) ||  die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n";

    Update: Added Code Sample.
