Hi, Yes, I tried the Debug=>1 option and got an error "Can't call method auth on an undefined value". When I tried to do it your way, it seems like the program hangs with the authorization part. I'm not sure why that is. My username and password are all correct. I've tried the username without the "@gmail.com" but still gives the same error. I'm wondering if I need SSL or anything for gmail. Can't seem to get my yahoo email account to work either. Maybe thats why the authorization is failing?? 
 
 
use MIME::Lite;
use Net::SMTP;
 
$FROM='james@gmail.com';
$TO='james@hotmail.com';
$subject='TESTING 123';
$SMTPUSER='james@gmail.com';
$SMTPPASS='james1234';
$message_text='testing';
 
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(From => $FROM,To => $TO,Subject => $subject,
+Type => 'multipart/alternative'); 
 
my $smtp = new Net::SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:465', Timeout => 15, Debug =>
+ 1);
$smtp->auth($SMTPUSER, $SMTPPASS);
$smtp->mail($FROM);
$smtp->to($TO);
$smtp->data($msg->as_string);
$smtp->quit;
