Does Email::Simple have "attachment" option?

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

Respected Monks,

I've been trying to use Email::Simple module and stuff works fine....but attachments don't work. Documentation does not indicate that the module has an attachment option, but I tried it anyways like so.

my $new_email = Email::Simple->create(
    header => [
        To    => 'to@email.com', 
        From    => 'from@email.com',
        Subject    => 'Test Message.',
    ],
    body => "This is a simple test Message sent using my script.\
         \nScript Location: $abs_path\
         \nServer name: $ENV{'COMPUTERNAME'}\n",

    attachment => "README.md",
);

I get the email, but not the attachment.

It is possible to send messages with attachments with Email::Simple, but only by manually handling all the encoding. You probably want Email::Stuffer. toby döt ink	[reply]

Yes, you just call the `attach` or `attach_file` methods multiple times. `use Email::Stuffer; 'Email::Stuffer' ->transport('SMTP', { host => '10.0.0.123' }) ->from('alice@example.net') ->to('bob@example.org') ->subject('Test') ->text_body("This is a test.\n") ->attach_file('wait_its_all_cake.jpeg') ->attach_file('always_has_been.gif') ->send_or_die;` [download] toby döt ink	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Most likely, yes, if you handle all the encoding of the body parts yourself. Maybe now is a good moment to use MIME::Lite? Despite the claims in its documentation, it still works well and allows for attachments...	[reply]
