Hi folks, I have below code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SMTP;

my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('smtp.xxxxx.com', Port    => 25, Timeout => 
+20, Debug   => 1 );

my $sender = my $user = 'username@xxxxx.com';
my $password = 'xxxxxxxx';
print "Trying to authenticate..";
$smtp->auth( $user, $password ) or die "could not authenticate\n";

my $receiver = 'username@xxxxx.com';
$smtp->mail( $sender );
$smtp->to( $receiver );
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend( "To: $receiver\n" );
$smtp->datasend( "From: $sender\n" );
$smtp->datasend( "Content-Type: text/html\n" );
$smtp->datasend( "Subject: Testing Net::SMTP" );
$smtp->datasend( "\n" );
$smtp->datasend( 'The body of the email' );
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->message();
$smtp->quit();

my output is below

As I know, Net::SMTP uses Authen::SASL internally to do the authentication. Is there something I still need to configure in this Authenticate?
