This one I have tested over and over and the path/filename of the file attachment are correct. I'm trying to send a mail message in Perl and an attach a simple text file to it. The code is as follows: 
use MIME::Lite
...
...
...
    sub benchMailReport
    {
        my $msg = new MIME::Lite(
              From    => $defaults{EMAIL_FROM},
              To      => $defaults{EMAIL_TO},
              Subject => $defaults{EMAIL_SUBJECT},
              Type    =>'multipart/mixed'
              );
        $msg->attach(
             Type        =>'TEXT',
             Disposition =>'inline',
             Path     => $defaults{REPORT_DIR},
            Filename => $defaults{REPORT_FILE_NAME}
                        );
        my ($result) = $msg->send();
       }

The result is that it sends the e-mail message properly, but when I open the attached file it is blank. But again I have tested the Path/Filename combination over and over again and they are correct, they point to a valid file. I would appreciate any help, thanks a lot. Brent.
