Net::SMTP::SSL(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Net::SMTP::SSL(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew ✨ This module is Net::SMTP::SSL, and it's literally the SSL support for Net::SMTP. 💅

📨 SYNOPSIS 📨

here's the whole vibe, no cap:

  use Net::SMTP::SSL;

  my $smtps = Net::SMTP::SSL->new("example.com", Port => 465);

🚨 DEPRECATED 🚨

Hey! Read this! 💀

Since Net::SMTP v1.28 (2014-10-08), Net::SMTP itself has support for SMTP over SSL, and also for STARTTLS. Use Net::SMTP, not Net::SMTP::SSL. Periodt. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It implements the same API as Net::SMTP, but uses IO::Socket::SSL for its network operations. Due to the nature of Net::SMTP's new method, it is not overridden to make use of a default port for the SMTPS service. Perhaps future versions will be smart like that. Port 465 is usually what you want, and it's not a pain to specify that. 🎀

For interface documentation, please see Net::SMTP.
