One of the reasons for choosing modules is not having to learn the tedium that is SMTP :)

    I think it's a case of modules being provided for convenience, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Failure to understand SMTP basics and related matters and take them into account is likely to land one in hot water.
    Besides that, the original post suggests that they're struggling getting basic connection parameters sorted out, rather than perl code problems.
    That's just my reading of the question, so I thought I'd cover that aspect.
