SMTP Authentication with Perl

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I'm using the Mail::Sendmail module and soon I'll be facing a small problem... My SMTP will require authentication.

Is there a way to code this into the module or my perl script?

Thanks,
Ralph.

I prefer to use Mail::Sender which can handle authentication. If you must use Mail::Sendmail, grab this module and study how the author did for implementing authentication. HTH, Valerio	[reply]

In addition to the direction to look at Mail::Sender module given above, there is a module of code in the catacombs of this site which adds SMTP authentication to the Net::SMTP module - This code can be found here.	[reply]
