Trying to send an email using my personal gmail using perl various modules (MIME::Lite, Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail, Email::Simple::Creator,Email::Sender::Transport::SMTPS), but keep getting the response 'Network Unreachable'.

Here is sample code: 

!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

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

my $smtpserver = 'smtp.gmail.com';
my $smtpport = 587;
my $smtpuser   = 'myuser@gmail.com';
my $smtppassword = 'myuser@gmail.com password';

my $transport = Email::Sender::Transport::SMTPS->new({
  host => $smtpserver,
  ssl  => 'starttls',
  port => $smtpport,
  sasl_username => $smtpuser,
  sasl_password => $smtppassword,
  debug => 1,
});


my $email = Email::Simple->create(
  header => [
    To      => 'xxxxx@gmail.com',
    From    => 'myuser@gmail.com',
    Subject => 'Hi!',
   ],
   body => "This is my message\n",
);

sendmail($email, { transport => $transport });
