While debugging an smtp-authentication error in a small routemonitoring script
I
discovered that there are some 'requirements' to Net::SMTP:
balu Net # grep 'require ' SMTP.pm
require 5.001;
require MIME::Base64;
require Authen::SASL;
Without that the Net::SMTP->auth() function fails.
Shoudn't there be some ebuild dependencies managed by use-flags?
e.g <useflag>sasl</useflag>:
...
DEPEND="sasl? ( perl-core/MIME-Base64 dev-perl/Authen-SASL)"
...
ervin
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a virgin minimal install
2. emerge dev-perl/libnet
3. try some perl with Net::SMTP authenticates at the mail relay
Actual Results:
Authentication error
Expected Results:
Authentication ok.
