I'm a bit of a newbie. I am using Windows 8, 64 bit and want to send html formatted email via Gmail SMTP. I don't need to send attachments. Can someone tell me which package module is most suitable? Thanks, Ivan mail::Sendmail Hi again Monks, Thanks for the advice so far, but I'm still a little lost. I have previously successfully sent email using mail::sendmail, but want to send through Gmail and mail::sendmail won't work because Gmail requires authentication protocol. Per the advice given above I have installed Email::Stuffer, which should work, but it doesn't supply sample code in the PERL documentation to the level I need. Specifically, how do I set Gmail as my SMTP host and how do I set the port and supply my signon and password for the authentication? Even better would be some sample code which covers this. Thanks again for all your help, Ivan
