It might be true that there are 937 ways to send email in perl but more than half of those aren't maintained, because there are simply better, newer methods. I just went on an internet walkabout to figure out how to send email and was simply following cpan instructions to find better stuff and came up with this:

use Email::Sender::Simple qw(sendmail);
   use Email::Sender::Transport::SMTPS;
   use Try::Tiny;

   my $transport = Email::Sender::Transport::SMTPS->new(
      host          => $host,
      ssl           => 'starttls',
      sasl_username => $username,
      sasl_password => $password,
      debug         => 0,            # or 1
   );

   use Email::Simple::Creator;       # or other Email::
   my $message = Email::Simple->create(
      header => [
         From    => $username,
         To      => $phone,
         Subject => 'Subject title',
      ],
      body => "Your link is $link\n",
   );

   try {
      sendmail( $message, { transport => $transport } );
   }
   catch {
      die "Error sending email: $_";
   };

This approach worked with a gmail account.I recommend this link https://metacpan.org/pod/Email::Sender::Transport::SMTPS
