Eail::Stuff seems to be something of a wrapper around a whole lot of otehr modules, there's no problemw ith that, so after your last post I thought, well, let's see what Net::SMTP::SSL does with this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Net::SMTP::SSL;


  my $smtp = Net::SMTP::SSL->new(
    'smtp.gmail.com',
    Port => 465,
    Timeout => 30,
    Debug   => 1,
  );
  
print $@;

[download]
produces: 
Net::SMTP::SSL: Bad service ''

[download]
So I think the problem is deeper again, Net::SMTP::SSL is purely a thing wrapper around Net::SMTP to enable it to use IO::SOCKET::SSL instead of IO::SOCKET::INET.

I don't have time to try more now, but this might give you some more thngs to follow up.
