Ah! that's interesting, I was under the impression that the failiure would
happen on an open, not a close. I'll check that one over...

The whole shebang runs as nobody:nobody, so there's no difference there.
mod_perl doesn't run as a crazy user of it's own choosing, as far as I can
tell - but then, I can't tell much. :)
The thing was, I started the Smart Way, and used everyone elses' code first:
Net::SMTP, then MIME::Lite (which I've used before from CGI on the same box
flawlessly). You know, your forehead hurts and the wall is getting bloody, so
you ditch all the stuff that *should* work and try to go it alone. :)
I assumed that it was a mod_perl issue because it works under everything
else. :)
