Net::SMTP::SSL - SSL support for Net::SMTP

use Net::SMTP::SSL;

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

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.

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.
