in reply to MIME Lite HTML with Attachments

Your errors tell part of the story, and it looks like you know better, too :)

You have 

$mailHTML::MIME::Lite->attach( Type =>'text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
+', 
       Data => '<b>Brought to you now!</b>',
    );

[download]
which should be 
$mailHTML->attach( Type =>'text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"', 
       Data => '<b>Brought to you now!</b>',
    );

[download]
precisely for the same reasons you used it as 
my $MIMEmail = $mailHTML->parse("$URL");

[download]
towards the end of your script. The token (is that the right word?) $mailHTML has all the methods "embedded" -- you don't need to try to specify which parts of which inherited interfaces you want to play with; it has them "natively" so to speak.

This presupposes that the ::Lite extension does properly inherit, of course.

    I agree the errors usually tell the story but for some reason the message hasn't been getting thru to me :)
    Also, If I appear to know better, please don't let it fool you, I am new to perl (couple of weeks or so) but have worked in several other langs... sometimes I think that may actually be baggage for me ;-)

    Anyhow, I had already tried the approach you mentioned, seemed natual. However, I got the following error:

    $mailHTML->attach( Type =>'text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"', 
        Data => '<b>Brought to you now!</b>',
     ); 

Can't locate object method "attach" via package "MIME::Lite::HTML" at 
+mailhml.pl line 15.

    So that's when I tried "scoping" the reference (terminology???) to get at the method I want.

    Perhaps, your statement

    This presupposes that the ::Lite extension does properly inherit, of course.

    I guess I will go peruse the source. Any other thoughts?

    Thanks
