I'm assuming you're running the libnet package available via ppm. I would suggest giving a little bit more background though on the problem, even if the creation of a new Net::SMTP is the cause of the error message.

If you run this from the command line, will it print out what line and what sub are causing this?

It appears that the crux of the problem lies in Net::SMTP, unless of course more information becomes available, so you could always try grabbing libnet from ppm again. But, I've also got this nagging sensation in my littlest toe that you should check $config{server} and give us more surrounding details to the problem (i.e. +/- 5 lines of code that would give an idea of what may be causing the problem instead of trying to debug from a solitary line).

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!
