Sending an Email with attachment and body of the email using perl

Naveen_learn has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Am trying to write a program to send an email with attachment and some message in the body of the email. I can do it either one at a time. i.e, by using the function IRI::Mail::File($props) i can send attachement but i cant write anything in the body of the email. on the other hand i can write something in the email using IRI::Mail::Text this function. but cant send an attachment with it. please note am using very basic version of perl.. please advise.

Perlmonks generally cannot help with proprietary software. Replace the email generation with a decently working MIME package such as Courriel::Builder.	[reply]

MIME::Lite is pretty easy to use- you should be able to assemble a multi-part email with attachments just from cut and paste from the included docs.	[reply]

The relevant FAQ recommends Email::MIME so you might want to look at that too.	[reply]
