That just gives me:

OK. Here is the error message. I stepped through the code to get this. My source file is after that. Names have been changed to protect the guilty

This was working perfectly with the older versions of SMTP.pm which did not use Authen:SASL. If you change your mail server, username and password, it should work with the older smtp.pm, but not the newer version.

I'd say you have incompatible versions of Net::SMTP and Authen::SASL - try reinstalling both from CPAN.
