I do agree that "external messing with ISA is not very polite" :-)

Another *dirty* hack to test is to make Net::SMTP use IO::Socket::SSL
instead of IO::Socket::INET and use SMTPS connection to SMTPS (465)
port [AFAIR I have been able to make Net::NNTP "support" NNTPS but I
have conducted a little more than basic tests ].

use MIME::Lite;
use Net::SMTP;
BEGIN { grep{ s/^IO::Socket::INET$/IO::Socket::SSL/ || 1 } @Net::SMTP::ISA }
....
MIME::Lite->send('smtp','smtp.gmail.com',Port=>465,...);

Why monkeypatch when there are robust libraries already written to do
the job?

Also, you're abusing grep for side effects.
