6 Net::SMTPS - SSL/STARTTLS support for Net::SMTP
7
9 use Net::SMTPS;
10
11 my $ssl = 'starttls'; # 'ssl' / 'starttls' / undef
12
13 my $smtp = Net::SMTPS->new("smtp.example.com", Port => 587, doSSL => $ssl);

16 This module implements a wrapper for Net::SMTP, enabling
17 over-SSL/STARTTLS support. This module inherits most of all the
18 methods from Net::SMTP(2.X). You may use all the friendly options that
19 came bundled with Net::SMTP. You can control the SSL usage with the
20 options of new() constructor method. 'doSSL' option is the switch,
21 and, If you would like to control detailed SSL settings, you can set
22 SSL_* options that are brought from IO::Socket::SSL. Please see the
23 document of IO::Socket::SSL about these options detail.
24
25 Just one method difference from the Net::SMTP, you can select SMTP AUTH
26 mechanism as the third option of auth() method.
27
28 As of Version 3.10 of Net::SMTP(libnet) includes SSL/STARTTLS
29 capabilities, so this wrapper module's significance disappareing.
30
32 new ( [ HOST ] [, OPTIONS ] )
33 A few options added to Net::SMTP(2.X).
34
35 doSSL { "ssl" | "starttls" | undef } - to specify SSL connection
36 type. "ssl" makes connection wrapped with SSL, "starttls" uses
37 SMTP command "STARTTLS".
38
40 Most of all methods of Net::SMTP are inherited as is, except auth().
41
42 auth ( USERNAME, PASSWORD [, AUTHMETHOD])
43 Attempt SASL authentication through Authen::SASL module. AUTHMETHOD
44 is your required method of authentication, like 'CRAM-MD5',
45 'LOGIN', ... etc. If your selection does not match the server-
46 offerred AUTH mechanism, authentication negotiation may fail.
47
48 starttls ( SSLARGS )
49 Upgrade existing plain connection to SSL.
50
52 Constructor option 'Debug => (N)' (for Net::Cmd) also sets
53 $IO::Socket::SSL::DEBUG when SSL is enabled. You can set 'Debug_SSL =>
54 {0-3}' separately.
