I was able to get the following to send the zip file but it's corrupted

Does anyone know why the zip file arrives corrupted but I can open the same zip file when using a shell script? 

use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Base64;
use IO::File;

my ($subject, $mach, $from, $to, $attachment, $fh, $content);
$subject = "Test Mail";
$from = 'user@email.com';
$to = 'user@email.com';
$attachment = "test.zip";
$fh = "mailbody.txt";
open(FILE, '>', $fh) or die "Cannot open $fh: $!";
print FILE "This is a test";
close(FILE);

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
print MAIL "FROM: $from\n";
print MAIL "TO: $to\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=frontier\n";
print MAIL "--frontier\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii\n\n";
open(FILE, '<', $fh) or die "Cannot open $fh: $!";
print MAIL <FILE>;
close(FILE);
print MAIL "\n\n";
print MAIL "--frontier\n";
chomp(my $basename=`basename $attachment`);
print MAIL "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$basename\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=$attachment\n
+\n";
print MAIL "encode_base64( read_file($attachment) )";
open(FILE, '<', $attachment) or die "Cannot open $attachment: $!";
print MAIL <FILE>;
print MAIL "\n";
close(FILE);
close(MAIL);
