Hello, first you will need to go into the security setting of your Gmail account and create an "application" password for your script. (This assumes your account is currently set to two-factor auth.) See for example this doc.

Then use Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail: 

use strict; use warnings;

use Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail;

my ( $email, $error ) = Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail->new(
    -port  => 587,
    -smtp  => 'smtp.gmail.com',
    -login => 'you@gmail.com',
    -pass  => 'passwordyoucreated'
);
 
die "SMTP connection error: $error" if $email == -1;

$email->send(
    -to      => 'you@gmail.com',
    -subject => 'This is the subject',
    -body    => 'This is the message body',
);

$email->bye;

__END__

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
