Have you considered
MIME::Lite ?
It has the advantage that you can build up your own mime mail components. I was faced with a similar problem to yours in the past. I didn't need to use multiparts but I did do image inserts I used
HTML::LinkExtor to grab all the images in the HTML page. I've included a code snippit if it will help:-
Notes:
- my_print() is my "special" debug print statement (only prints if debug enabled)
- $opts is my command line arguments hash $opts{'d'} was for debug :)
- $template was an HTML::Template object
- the script assumes that images to attach are local to its directory
Hope this helps
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From => $from_address,
To => $email_address,
Subject => $subject,
Type => 'text/html',
Data => $template->output()
);
#we need to add any images to the mail if they exist
my $parser = HTML::LinkExtor->new();
$parser->parse($template->output());
foreach my $link ($parser->links){
if ($link->[0] eq 'img'){
my_print("Image found [".$link->[2]."] ");
if ($link->[2] =~ /^https?:\/\//){
my_print("Absolute! Ignored.\n");
}else{
my ($imgtype,$junk) = reverse split '\.',$link->[2];
$imgtype =~ s/^jpg$/jpeg/; #propper mime name?
if(open(TEST,"<".$link->[2])){
my_print("Attaching\n");
close(TEST);
$msg->attach(Type =>'image/'.$imgtype,
Path =>$link->[2],
Filename=>$link->[2],
#Disposition => 'inline');
Disposition => 'attachment');
}else{
my_print("Not found, Skipped!!\n");
}
}
}
}
if($opts{'d'}){
#debug mode
my_print($msg->as_string);
}else{
$msg->send();
}
