Ah ok, making some progress here :) The below works: 

     use Net::SMTP;
     my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('smtp.gmail.com',
                           Hello => 'steampunkjunkies.net',
                           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->mail('andy@steampunkjunkies.net'); # from addr
    $smtp->to('foo@gmail.com');
    $smtp->data();
    $smtp->datasend("foo\n");
    $smtp->quit();

The problem with that though, is that I actually want to send a fully compiled email already (built up using MIME::Lite). So something like: 

    $smtp->data();
    $smtp->datasend($body_of_a_full_email_from_MIME_Lite);
    $smtp->quit();

Do you understand what I mean?

Thanks!
