Hi everyone
Just tried the MIME::Lite module for the 1st time,
the download/install went "OK", but it got some weird error I can't figure out.
my (entire) code was: 
use MIME::Lite;
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
  From     =>'some@one.com',
  To       =>'realmail@gmail.com',
  #Cc       =>'some@other.com, some@more.com',
  Subject  =>'testing 1 2 3',
  Data     =>"body thing, back slash n test\n, br ing test<br> thats i
+t"
    );
$msg->send(); #this one is line 10

[download]
straight from the examples (cpan), of the module's page.
But when it Run, it just dies saying:
SMTP Failed to connect to mail server: Bad file descriptor
 at C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\perl experiments\m
+ail sender.pl line 10
Press any key to continue . . .

[download]

so I added "use diagnostics;"
and this time it died saying:
Uncaught exception from user code:
        SMTP Failed to connect to mail server: Bad file descriptor

Any ideas ???
Thx
