Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise), I recently updated IO::Socket::SSL to the
latest available version (1.74).  It appears stricter syntax checking is
now being applied to the SSL_version parameter to the start_SSL method,
and the usage in sendEmail is incorrect.  Line 1907 needs to be modifed
from:

1907:        if (! IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL($SERVER, SSL_version =>
'SSLv3 TLSv1')) {

to something like:

1907:        if (! IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL($SERVER, SSL_version =>
'SSLv23:!SSLv2')) {

Note that the "SSLv23:!SSLv2" string is the default in IO::Socket::SSL,
and inherently includes TLSv1.  There may be better/alternative
specifications that can be used, but the current string is syntactically
invalid, which now causes IO::Socket::SSL to fail (previously, this
would have been ignored).

I hope this helps.
