I like MIME::Lite. It feels slightly less heavy than Email::Sender.

Hi,

In the documentation of MIme::Lite it is written that it is not recommended by the maintainer.
Did you have issues with it?

Thanks,
David

I use the module frequently and haven't had any issues with it.

Mail::Sender worked great for me. I don't know how minimal the module is, but usage is very simple, as below

use Mail::Sender;
...
my  $sender = new Mail::Sender {smtp => $smtpServerName, from => $emai
+lFromAddress};
my $result = $sender->MailFile({
    to => [@emailToList],
    cc => [@emailCCList],
    subject => "Stats (Day $day of $month/$year)" . ($errors?" - Parti
+al results":''),
    msg => "Stats for day $day of $month/$year are attached." . ($erro
+rs ? "\n\nErrors encountered:\n$errors\n" : ''),
    file => $filename,
});
