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;

Any idea where to go next?
