Is it possible to retrieve the mailserver's response to each command when using Net::SMTP? Here is basically what I want to do: 

my $smtp;
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new( $mailhost, Timeout =} $tmout );
{print server response here}

$smtp->mail( $fromaddr );
{print server response here}

$smtp>to( $recip );
{print server response here}

$smtp>data();
{print server response here}

$smtp>datasend( "To: $recip\n" );
$smtp>datasend( "From: $fromaddr\n" );
$smtp>datasend( "Subject: $subject\n" );
$smtp>datasend( "\n" );
$smtp>datasend( "$body\n" );
$smtp>dataend();
{print server response here}

$smtp>quit;

I know I can get the success or failure of each command like this: 

$response=$smtp->mail( $fromaddr );
print "$response\n";

but I want to retrieve the actual reply code that the server returns. Any suggestions?
