Net::SMTP implements Auth, but needs Authen::SASL See methods and samples on pod or code:

... cut ...
sub auth {
    my ($self, $username, $password) = @_;

    eval {
    require MIME::Base64;
    require Authen::SASL;
    } or $self->set_status(500,["Need MIME::Base64 and Authen::SASL to
+do auth"]), return 0;
... cut ...

Humm, good! Implements a convenient, test to prevent error... (can be optimized, but it's good!)

I'm using this to send my test messages on authenticaded. .............
