update qdxi_start.pl for SSL email notification

[Barb Dozier]

SSL authentication is now a requirement for sending email notifications within a new cloverleaf environment for us.  I am trying to update the qdxi_start.pl script utilized with our cluster failover process to accommodate this new requirement.  I have made the below changes to the script but am receiving the following error.  How do we install perl updates?  how does this affect the cloverleaf install?

Script changes:

$smtp = Net::SMTP->new($host, Hello=>$host, Port=>587, Debug=>1, SSL=>1)

$smtp->auth($smtp_user, $smtp_pass);

error received:

To use SSL please install IO::Socket::SSL with version>=2.007 at E:\cloverleaf\cis19.1\integrator\lib\perl5/Net/SMTP.pm line 67.

It’s not a good idea to update the Perl libraries that are shipped with Cloverleaf. In the past we’ve installed another copy of Perl somewhere outside of HCIROOT that is more recent and used that to run custom scripts.
