"I tried running a test with MIME:Lite. It required me to install all these other packages."

Dependences are common, nothing to worry about.

"Once they were installed I ran into authentication issues. I also installed Authen-SASL but it errored out(no SASL mechanism found at SASL.pm line 77 and SMTP.pm line 143."

At this point I'd suggest that you concentrate on the email aspect of your problem first. Can you detail how you installed MIME::Lite and Authen::SASL? Did either produce warnings or errors? Did you skip installing optional modules while installing these? Post the code which causes this error and provide more data like what sort of mail server are you connecting to, a Microsoft Exchange Server? See also SASL.
