This Mail::IMAPClient->new() freezes in Windows 7:

sub connectGMail
{
    my $client = Mail::IMAPClient->new
    (
        Server   => 'imap.gmail.com',
        Port     => 993,
        Ssl      =>  1,
        User     => 'whateverUser',
        Password => 'aG00dP455w0rd',
        Socket   => IO::Socket::SSL->new
        (       
            SSL_verify_mode => SSL_VERIFY_NONE
        )
    )
    or die "Cannot connect  ($@)\n";
    return $client;
}

I tried deactivating Windows firewall, but nothing changed. A very similar code works fine in Linux:

sub connectGMail
{
    my $client = Mail::IMAPClient->new
    (
        Server   => 'imap.gmail.com',
        Port     => 993,
        Ssl      =>  1,
        User     => 'whateverUser',
        Password => 'aG00dP455w0rd'
    )
    or die "Cannot connect  ($@)\n";
    return $client;
}

In both cases Mail::IMAPClient was installed fine from CPAN repositories, but in Windows, if I don't include the Socket option, it shows me this warning

*******************************************************************
 Using the default of SSL_verify_mode of SSL_VERIFY_NONE for client
 is deprecated! Please set SSL_verify_mode to SSL_VERIFY_PEER
 together with SSL_ca_file|SSL_ca_path for verification.
 If you really don't want to verify the certificate and keep the
 connection open to Man-In-The-Middle attacks please set
 SSL_verify_mode explicitly to SSL_VERIFY_NONE in your application.

and the rest of the script (which parses the emails) won't work correctly.

Thanks in advance!
