OK, here's the RFC. Most likely your SMTP server follows this
specification for SMTP AUTH.
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2554.txt
That being said, the Net::SMTP module supports plaintext
authentication. I do not know if other modules support authen-
tication, as I have never had a need for it. If your server
requires some other kind of authentication (like MD5), you may
have to roll your own solution with IO::Socket :(
