Gmail Webmail Push

Every time I send email to my Gmail account, it pops up on the web client once it arrives.

Push in action.

Net::SMTP::TLS

For no apparent reason, I poked around mail client setup for gmail last night and I found it mentioned STARTTLS on their SMTP setup. Several month ago I didn't find any working Perl module to send email via google, so I decided to conduct a little search again using that keyword.

Enter Net::SMTP::TLS.

use Net::SMTP::TLS;
my $mailer = new Net::SMTP::TLS(
   'smtp.gmail.com',
   Hello   => 'gmail.com',
   Port    => 587,
   User    => 'tracelogger@gmail.com',
   Password=> 'pwd',
   Timeout => 10,
   Debug   => 1,
);
$mailer->mail('tracelogger@gmail.com');
$mailer->to('anybody@world.com');
$mailer->data;
$mailer->datasend("To: anybody\@world.com\n");
$mailer->datasend("\n");
$mailer->datasend("Sent thru TLS!");
$mailer->dataend;
$mailer->quit;
