in reply to Sending Mail from Perl Script

The "@" character is special inside quotes, and this is the source of your problem. Either:

a) Escape the symbol:

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new
  (
  From    => "user\@gmail.com",
  To      => "user\@gmail.com",
  Data    => "This is a test\n",
  Subject => "Test",
  );

or b) Use single-quotes to avoid the interpolation:

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new
  (
  From    => 'user@gmail.com',
  To      => 'user@gmail.com',
  Data    => "This is a test\n",
  Subject => "Test",
  );

    Ok Thanks. That was a dumb error. Corrected that problem but I fail to be able to connect to the mail server. Do you know what else would be wrong with this code? 
    use MIME::Lite;
$user = 'user@yahoo.com';
$pass = 'passwd';
# Configure smtp server - required one time only
MIME::Lite->send("smtp","smtp.mail.yahoo.com",
       AuthUser=>$user, AuthPass=>$pass);


my $msg = MIME::Lite->new
  (
  From    => 'user@yahoo.com',
  To      => 'user@yahoo.com',
  Data    => "A simple test message",
  Subject => "Hello World",
  );

$msg->send();
