% pkg which `locate SMTP.pm`
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.24/Net/SMTP.pm was installed by package perl5-5.24.1.r4

From: http://perldoc.perl.org/Net/SMTP.html

This module implements a client interface to the SMTP and ESMTP
protocol, enabling a perl5 application to talk to SMTP servers. This
documentation assumes that you are familiar with the concepts of the
SMTP protocol described in RFC2821. With IO::Socket::SSL installed it
also provides support for implicit and explicit TLS encryption,
i.e. SMTPS or SMTP+STARTTLS.

Why e.g. devel/git can't use this version?
