I recently lost my perl5 modules library and have been rebuilding it.

One of the critical pieces was MIME::Lite

It calls on Net::SMTP which in turn calls on Authen::SASL which calls on Authen::SASL::Cyrus.

Something has changed since I last installed these modules because now I get

Can't locate Authen/SASL/Cyrus.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/product/perlmods/lib/site_perl/5.005 /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 19) line 3.

every time the script is called. It does however e-mail the documents correctly.

I've installed the new sasl2 library which is required for Authen::SASL::Cyrus and when I install Authen::SASL::Cyrus, the program craps out entirely, give me a 'auth' method not supported error. The only way I can get it to mail e-mail is to delete the Authen::SASL::Cyrus module and live with the warning.

(We have to connect to our SMTP server using with authentication.)

If I try to remove the Authen::SASL::Cyrus requirement from Authen::SASL, it doesn't work either

What am I doing wrong?

Since it seems to be working correctly (in terms of sending e-mail and authenticating), how can I simply get rid of the warning. As near as I can tell, we don't need anything related to Cyrus.
