Thank you huck. That got me a step closer. The embedded image no longer displays as raw base64 data in the email. The image still does not display in the body of the email. It appears as separate HTML attachment. When I downloaded the HTML attachment to check it in my browser (Chrome), the browser displays raw base64 code instead of the image. I'm sure this should not be this hard, but there are a lot of moving parts. Here is the latest attempt to display an embedded image in the body of the email using <img src=\"data:image/jpeg; base64," in the reference you provided:
##############################################################
# Email - body (image) [NOT working]
##############################################################
$smtp->datasend("--$boundary\n");
$smtp->datasend("MIME-Version: 1.0\n");
$smtp->datasend("Content-Type: text/html\n");
$smtp->datasend("Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n");
$smtp->datasend("Content-Disposition: inline\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
$smtp->datasend("<body><img src=\"data:image/jpeg; base64,");
open(my $fh2, '<', $pic) || die("Could not open Jpg file!");
binmode($fh2);
local $/=undef;
while (read($fh2, my $chunk, 72*57)) {
my $buf = &encode_base64( $chunk );
$smtp->datasend($buf);
}
$smtp->datasend("\"></body>");
$smtp->datasend("\n");
close($fh2);
"It's not how hard you work, it's how much you get done."

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
