Thank you
jeffenstein! That worked perfectly, and it worked without the need of the "join, map, split" code. My final version of the code segment for an embedded image in the email body (while still using "Net::SMTPS") is shown below:
##############################################################
# Email - body (embedded image)
##############################################################
$smtp->datasend("--$boundary\n");
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
To =>'tester@hotmail.com',
Subject =>'HTML with Embedded Image',
Type =>'multipart/related'
);
$msg->attach(
Type => 'text/html',
Data => qq{
<body>
<img src="cid:mypicture">
</body>
},
);
$msg->attach(
Type => 'image/jpeg',
Id => 'mypicture',
Path => 'test.jpg',
);
$smtp->datasend( $msg->as_string );
"It's not how hard you work, it's how much you get done."
