This isn't creating the new Net::SMTP::SSL object - so of course it fails. But even with Debug on, I'm not getting back anything that tells me why it's failing. I've got a version of this using Net::SMTP::TLS and it connects fine to gmail. But I'm missing something with the SSL version. (I do have a valid SSL Cert for the actual domain this script is installed at.) This is driving me batty.
