MIME::Lite - sending via Gmail [SMTPS - Net::SMTP 3.05]

WARNING: MIME::Lite filters parameters passed to Net::SMTP - see MIME::Lite 3.030 - NET::SMTP with smtps (port 465)

AFAIK Gmail offers SMTP AUTH overecypted connections
(over SMTPS connections or after STARTTLS SMTP command).

With Net::SMTP 3.05 you may use SMTPS as a clean fix.
Net::SMTP versions below 3.0 do not support SMTPS.
[ WARNING: see MIME::Lite 3.030 - NET::SMTP with smtps (port 465) ]

$msg->send('smtp', "smtp.gmail.com", 
  SSL=>1,
  AuthUser=>"$from",  AuthPass=>"*******",
  Debug=>1);
