Hi
Just use "shaw" instead of "shaw.ca" as in :
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('shaw')||die("my woes are never ending :(");
You are supposed to use only the name of the mail server.
shaw.ca is an invalid argument to Net::SMTP as you will find if you use :
print "$!"; after trying to connect to the server as you do.
Bon Mailing :)

I did find out that the problem is with:
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('shaw.ca');
by adding "or die...". However, I am able to send e-mail to myself using MS
Access. Any other idea what my problem might be?
Thanks.
