Hi,

I'm trying to send an email to someone using, using MIME::Lite, to send via GMail SMTP. This is the code I have: 
    my $from = 'xxx <coo@site.net>';
    my $to = 'tester <me@gmail.com>';
    my $subject_val = "Your recent order";
    my $contents = qq|Thanks for your order. Please find your invoice 
+attached.|;
    my $write_path = "/srv/www/site.net/www/cgi-bin/admin/invoice_pdfs
+/generator/created_invoices/403-8079250-7569948.pdf";
    my $file_name  = "403-8079250-7569948.pdf";

    my $pt = 587; # or 587, 465, etc depending on what gmail uses

    my $mailer = new Net::SMTP::TLS(
        $CFG->{db_smtp_server},
        Port => $pt,
        User => $CFG->{db_smtp_user},
        Password => $CFG->{db_smtp_pass},
        Timeout => 60,
    ) or die "Cannot create a TLS mailer instance!\n";

    $mailer->mail($from);
    $mailer->to($to);
    $mailer->data();

    my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
        From       => $from,
        'Reply-to' => $from,
        To         => $to,
        Subject    => $subject_val,
        Type       => 'multipart/related'
    ) or die "Cannot create a new email instance!\n";

    $msg->attach(
        Type => 'TEXT',
        Data => $contents,
    ) or die "Error adding TXT: $!\n";

    $msg->attach(
        Type        => 'application/pdf',
        Path        => $write_path,
        Filename    => $file_name
    ) or die "Error adding PDF: $!\n";

    $mailer->datasend($msg->as_string);
    $mailer->dataend();
    $mailer->quit();

The problem I'm getting, is that it DOES send, but when it comes out my end, the attachments are all screwed:

(none of them open)

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: Mmm, I may have to scrap this method anyway - as the frigging IO::Socket::SSL.pm bug with regards to this line:

m{^(!?)(?:(SSL(?:v2|v3|v23|v2/3))|(TLSv1(?:_?[12])?))$}i

...needing to be this line:

m{^(!?)(?:(SSL(?:v2|v3|v23|v2/3))|(TLSv1[12]?))}i

(or else it fails with Gmail)

totally screws up a load of other modules :( Back to the drawing board I guess



TIA

Andy
