It sounds like Google expects you to have a TLS session established
prior to exchanging login and password information (TLS before AUTH).
Not a bad idea, otherwise your account is exchanged in clear text.

You probably want to start by finding a more relevant place to ask the
question. This newsgroup is focused on the Sendmail MTA, not the
stupidly misnamed (http://alma.ch/perl/Mail-Sendmail-FAQ.html#called)
Mail::Sendmail perl module.

Google ONLY accepts mail through its GMail server using TLS, and it
appears that Mail::Sendmail does not support TLS.
