Hi Rob,
Thanks for your answer.
I change the code to try debug and put the correct SMTP address:
$smtp_test = Net::SMTP->new('smtp.mail.yahoo.com',
Timeout => 30,
Debug => 1,)|| print "ERROR creating SMTP obj: $! \n";
but the following message is displayed: "Bad file descriptor".
I don't need to use the SMTP procotol, I need only send an email.
Thanks,
Fúlvio
