Hi Monks

Need a suggestion. I wanted to have my script to be able to send mail to specified mailing address, I am in WIN32.Regarding this, I tried using NET::SMTP, but NET::SMTP couldn't help me much. I finally got it using MIME::LITE but here is few observation: Got this earlier node on the same subject http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=622121

Even using MIME::LITE it's not that straight forward.

1. it has a dependency, you have to have module "Email::Date::Format" for MIME::LITE to work.

2. If you are passing the mail through an external program like "sendmail" then OK ... otherwise if you are using a SMTP server,got to authenticate yourself to send the mail you need again 2 other modules "MIME::BASE64" and "AUTHEN::SASL".

For my case, I have tp pass through the SMTP server, authenticating it. Is there any other way, I can get around this without using MIME::LITE. please suggest.

Thanks.
