I took those lines out of it and so ... not broken anymore and yes, it works with Client2 with forking but not with threads. I get the exactly the same result with the unmodified Client2 module.

      My versions are:
      Perl - 5.8.8 Build 822
      Net::SMTP - 2.31
      Net::SMTP::Server::Client2 - 0.2

      I'm sorry if I'm being dense. I'm really not trying to be.

        Not at all. If it works for me and not for you, all we can do is try and work out the differences, and there are none in that lot. What about threads and threads::shared? I have: 

        C:/Perl/lib/threads.pm                                       : 1.62
C:/Perl/lib/threads/shared.pm                                : 1.12

        [download]

        These are the latest distributions from CPAN. If you don't have them you should try installing them.

        I know I was using the fileno()/dup trick to successfully pass socket handles around prior to installing them, but that was probably under 5.8.6 rather 5.8.8. Maybe the combination will sort things out for you?
