in reply to Authen::SASL error

Where did all the newlines go?

The stuff you pasted seems very disconnected from itself and unlike anything I see in the documentation -- typical Khen1950fx junk -- sorry about that, I usually try to point-out his nonsense, but I shy away from email threads

What you want to try is delete all SASL stuff from you code and add only this 

$NetSMTP->auth( $user, $pass );

[download]
and Net::SMTP will try to load Authen::SASL... if the remote server demands it... and it should just work.

Through UTSLing I learned you can also write  $NetSMTP->auth( Authen::SASL->new(...) ); if you need more customization

If it doesn't, well, you'll need to copy Net::SMTP_auth exactly

as I can't ask multiple ISP's for our customers to install SMTP_auth.

    OK, so I tried that. I think I did try it once before too and I still get the same result now as I did back then (without all the other output):

    Cannot find a SASL Connection library at PERL2EXE_STORAGE/Net/SMTP.pm line 137

    Note that I am using a program to compile my perl code into an exe to run on Windows (called Perl2exe), so I have to explicitly tell it to include things sometimes. I already have included Authen/SASL.pm with it, but it still seems to be missing something.

      Kind of important detail, eh? :)

      First things first, does it work outside of perl2exe?

      I already have included Authen/SASL.pm with it, but it still seems to be missing something.

      You probably need to add more, like all installed Authen::SASL::* modules and their deps .... I don't use perl2exe so i don't know how smart it is, but scandeps -x file.pl can help you generate a fairly complete list for perl2exe

      I prefer PAR or http://www.cavapackager.com/ even though cava website is half-there ATM )

        Anonymous Monk - I installed the Scandeps module on my local machine to try this out but I don't seem to get any output. My little program is this:

        use Module::ScanDeps;

my $hash_ref = scan_deps(
  files   => [ 'c:\libsearch-work.cgi' ],
  recurse => 1,
);

print "start:";
while (($key, $value) = each(%{$hash_ref})) {
     print $key.", ".$value."<br />";
}

        [download]
        But I get no output (other that the 'start:', just to tell me it's there.) Am I missing something in how to operate this ScanDeps machine? (I did try it on a linux server, and it works, though it says permission denied, but it doesn't seem to be lacking a module). Thanks - I appreciate your help in this .... muchly :)

    (I also find that I can't post replies to the most recent reply on this thread, so I did it here.)
