Hi all,

I just realize that I am not up to date with emails in Perl anymore.

Last time I wanted to programatically to send an email I was using MIME::Lite, but that won't impress the kids today...

What I want to do is to send mails using my gmail-account and I am bit baffled so see that there is plethora of options:

Net::SMTP::TLS
Email::Send::SMTP::TLS
Email::Send::Gmail
Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail

So as I am too lazy to read lots of reviews my question is:

Is there currently a canonical/best/preferred way to send mails via gmail or are all the different ways equally valid options and it only comes down to taste?

Many thanks!
