When I look up MIME::Lite I find this WAIT! message:

MIME::Lite is not recommended by its current maintainer. There are a number of alternatives, like Email::MIME or MIME::Entity and Email::Sender, which you should probably use instead. MIME::Lite continues to accrue weird bug reports, and it is not receiving a large amount of refactoring due to the availability of better alternatives. Please consider using something else.

I've had limited success with Mail::Mailer so I'll try to use that in my script. In the body, tried to esc a single quote (by '') and use \n for end of line, but these didn't work. Looks like simple text with CRLF works instead of \n. Haven't figured out how to use single quote -
