Hi,

Funnily enough, I was just playing with that :) 
     use Net::SMTP;
     my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('smtp.gmail.com',
                           Hello => 'smtp.gmail.com',
                           Timeout => 30,
                           Debug   => 1,
                           SSL     => 1
                          ) || die "Error: $!";
     $smtp->auth($CFG->{db_smtp_user}, $CFG->{db_smtp_pass}) or die "C
+ould not authenticate with mail.\n";
     $smtp->data();
     $smtp->datasend($email) || die $!;
     $smtp->dataend() || die $smtp->message();

It complains on line 99, which is:

$smtp->dataend() || die $!;

Which gives the following error message: 

5.5.1 Unrecognized command. vs7sm25292357wjb.10 - gsmtp


I found a similar post here: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=680369, but I'm not quite sure what the suggestion is (it also 2008, so I'm not sure if its relative any more)

Just to clarify a bit more, this is the debug that reports the error: 

Net::SMTP::_SSL>>> Net::SMTP::_SSL
