I got this error when using the example in Email::Send::SMTP::TLS: Invalid conversion in sprintf: "%S" at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Net/SMTP/TLS.pm line 254, <GEN0> line 13. Error sending email: Auth failed: 501 5.5.4 cannot BASE64 decode '%S' at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Email/Send/SMTP/TLS.pm line 45 This was fixed by changing %S to %s in the sprintf() call. Then it worked and I could send email. Version info: Net::SMTP::TLS version 0.12 Perl v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi uname -a yields: Linux Empathy20080224 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux It's Kubuntu Hardy Heron.
