Perl - Having trouble using MIME::Lite with authentication to send emails

I'm trying to send emails out using MIME::Lite with authentication.

Here's the code snippet I am trying:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use DBI;
use lib '/theannealing.com/perl/';
use MIME::Lite;
use MIME::Base64;
use Authen::SASL;

my $recipient       =   '[email protected]';
my $mailman         =   '[email protected]';
my $cc_recipient    =   '[email protected]';
my $subject         =   'Subject';
my $email_message   =   "Message";

my ($user,$pass) = ("username","password");

MIME::Lite->send('smtp','smtp.server:port',AuthUser=>$user, AuthPass=>$pass);
my $email = new MIME::Lite(From => $mailman,To => $recipient,Cc => $cc_recipient,Subject => $subject,Data => "Data",Type => "multipart/mixed"); 
$email->attach(Type => 'TEXT', Data => "$email_message");
$email->send();

When I execute the script, I get this error message:

Cannot find a SASL Connection library at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Net/SMTP.pm line 143

I tried searching the error message and couldn't find any worth-while explanations and/or solutions to the problem with relevance to usage with MIME::Lite

Does anyone know what's wrong or what's producing that error message?

UPDATE Emailing via php using the mail() function works fine from a web browser, but does not work from the command line

You need to reinstall Authen::SASL - it was installed incorrectly. Do this as root from command line:

cpan GBARR/Authen-SASL-2.15.tar.gz
