It might mean that you checked for $! even though no error occured. Like C's
errno, $! is only set if a function returned an error.
In this example, I'd imagine that Net::SMTP->new would return 'undef' if it
couldn't open the connection. If it returns something else, you shouldn't be
checking $!. (Even if it returns undef, it may not set $!; typically, only
Perl's built-in (file) operations set it.)
If you set $! to 0 immediately before calling Net::SMTP->new, do you still
get 'No such file or directory'?
Cheers,
Philip
