If I read your report correctly, you were able to install all of Net::SMTP::SSL's prerequisites but had this failure when testing the module itself:

Net-SMTP-SSL is not part of the Perl 5 core distribution, so this failure should be reported in Net-SMTP-SSL's own bug tracker.  And, as a matter of fact, it appears that it already has been reported there:  https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99454.  Can you follow up with the distribution's maintainer there?

Thank you very much.
