These postings aim to reduce the number of repeated questions as well as allow the community to review and update the answers. The latest version of the complete perlfaq is at http://faq.perl.org . -------------------------------------------------------------------- 9.21: How do I use MIME to make an attachment to a mail message? This answer is extracted directly from the "MIME::Lite" documentation. Create a multipart message (i.e., one with attachments). use MIME::Lite; ### Create a new multipart message: $msg = MIME::Lite->new( From =>'me(a)myhost.com', To =>'you(a)yourhost.com', Cc =>'some(a)other.com, some(a)more.com', Subject =>'A message with 2 parts...', Type =>'multipart/mixed' ); ### Add parts (each "attach" has same arguments as "new"): $msg->attach(Type =>'TEXT', Data =>"Here's the GIF file you wanted" ); $msg->attach(Type =>'image/gif', Path =>'aaa000123.gif', Filename =>'logo.gif' ); $text = $msg->as_string; "MIME::Lite" also includes a method for sending these things. $msg->send; This defaults to using sendmail but can be customized to use SMTP via Net::SMTP. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq.
