From 9df8f734fdbf2a46cfea55a966cf2a906f9db7c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Mayo Date: Thu, 30 May 2019 19:39:10 +0100 Subject: send-email: update documentation of required Perl modules Improve and complete the list of required email related Perl modules, clarifying which are core Perl modules and remove Net::SMTP::SSL. git-send-email uses the TLS support in the Net::SMTP core module from recent versions of Perl. Documenting the minimum version is complex because of separate numbering for Perl (5.21.5~169), Net:SMTP (2.34) and libnet (3.01). Version numbers from commit: bfbfc9a953 ("send-email: Net::SMTP::starttls was introduced in v2.34", 2017-05-31). Users of older Perl versions without Net::SMTP::SSL installed will get a clear error message.
