Sarat1729 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, There has been a requirement I am working on, which is not working. The requirement is to retrieve the data from DB and plot it as a graph and send as a content of mail. However I 1) Successfully retrieved the data 2) Successfully plotted the graph using GD::Graph module and saved it as .png file in a server. 3) Successfully sent the mail by referring the image (using html img tag) and received it. But, couldn't get the image in the mail. In the doubt that mail retrieving the pic from the local machine that I am using to access the mail, I created a dummy pic with the same name as I created in the server and the mail triggered next time is picking that. So, how I can achieve the functionality of getting the pic into mail from the server where I am executing the script instead of the machine where I am accessing the mail. Note: Couldn't paste the code due to the restrictions that I have. Apologies for that.

    Can you send the image as an attachment ?
    Have you looked at Email::Stuffer ?
