I'm trying to build a little report generator for our larger reports that will get forked off from the main application so it can crunch away at the data without holding up the rest of the app. Forking off the process is not the problem I'm looking at though...

What I want to do is send the report as a .tab or .csv email attachment to whoever runs the report. I've been looking at this 'E-mail with Attachments' using Mime::Lite on TPJ, but I want to avoid writing the report out to a file on the server's hard disk before emailing it off ...

There's gotta be a way to do this. If anyone tells me I owe you a coke!
