Passwords always seem to be shown as *.

They should always be shown as *.

Is there anything else I must have before this will work?

For start, show/examine debug output, it should say why auth failed.

    I understand the comment about * and passwords but how do I type the password in and get *'s. I have looked
    in my Perl books but cannto see a way of doing this
    I have also looked in the SMTP.pm module and found that auth
    required the Authen:SASL module.
    I downloaded and stored VERSION = "2.12"
    I got further but then found the next error of
    Cannot find a SASL Connection library at .../SMTP.pm line 145
    This line and the ones either side are
        # currently know and SASL mechanisms that are used by smtp that ne
+ed it
    my $client = $sasl->client_new('smtp',${*$self}{'net_smtp_host'},0
+);
    my $str    = $client->client_start;
