I hope it's OK to revive this thread. I'm getting the same error message, after switching hosts all my scripts broke. Changing hosts also involved changing from dedicated IP to shared. Which may be relevant because the host service puts a perl path in the environment which points to a folder with a file called ReadOnly.pm, which at a glance seems to restrict changing values in the stack for objects like scalars and arrays in the installed CPAN modules. I'm testing Mail::Sender with a commandline script. I know the smtp settings work because I'm able to send a simple message using Net::SMTP::SSL but the same settings always time out When I run with perl debug flag and check the value of my hash it all looks ok.

Here's the contents of the $self hash from perl5/lib/perl5/Mail/Sender.pm: line 1022): 
1022:        return $self;

And here's the $self hash from right before the call to $self->Connect(); on line 1322, I'm a little unsure about smtpaddr value. Using localhost gives me something that looks like a local ip address that's been packed. When it calls $self->Connect(); the script times out.

1322:        my $s = $self->{'socket'} || $self->Connect();
  DB<3> x $self
