Very curious about this one -- enough so that this is my first post at the Monastery in a LONG time. Anyway, I have the following bit of code (which is in the sub &sendmail): 
use MIME::Lite;

  my $to = 'anthony@currentmarketing.com';
  my $fax = '/tmp/1049811816.pdf';

  # Start with a simple text message:
  my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
               From    =>'anthony@domain.com',
               To      =>$to,
               Subject =>'FAX for you.',
               Type    =>'TEXT',
               Data    =>"Here is a fax for you!\n\n:)"
               );
  print "created msg\n";

  # Attach a part ... the make the message a multipart automatically:
  $msg->attach(Type     =>'application/pdf',
               Path     =>$fax,
               Filename =>'fax.pdf',
               );
               
  print "attached pdf\n";

  # Now send?
  $msg->send_by_smtp('216.26.151.48');
  
  print "sent by smtp worked\n";

  print "Sent $fax to $to\n";

When I run it via the command line, I get the following output: 
[notsoevil@dragon anthony]# ./convert2.pl
created msg
attached pdf

It's hanging before the send, so to help see why I run perl -d: 
[notsoevil@dragon anthony]# perl -d convert2.pl
Default die handler restored.

Er, so it runs via the perl debugger, but not normally via the command line. If I comment out the 'attach' section and just send the text, it does run from the command line. So, needless to say, I'm now totally confused.
