I managed to resolve it using Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP;
use Email::Sender::Simple qw(sendmail);

my $smtpserver = 'smtp.gmail.com';
my $smtpport = 587;
my $smtpuser   = 'xxxxxxxx@gmail.com';
my $smtppassword = 'xxxxxxxxx';

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


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

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