All,

I am trying to use the MIME::Lite::HTML package to email web pages and include e-mail attachments. I have no problems using MIME::Lite to send mail with attachments and no problem using MIME::Lite::HTML to send a web page.

I figured that MIME::Lite::HTML inherits from MIME::Lite so I thought I'd be able to use MIME Lite methods to add the attachments... but apparently I do not understand the mechanism well enough. Sorry if this is a dumb mistake, it's just been a long "short" week. ;-(

Most of the code is straight from the Module's DOCs.
Could someone tell me if what I want to do is "do-able" and if so what's wrong with the code.

Thanks

The Errors

Name "mailHTML::MIME::Lite" used only once; possible typo at mailhtml.

The Code 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use MIME::Lite;
use MIME::Lite::HTML; 

my $mailHTML = new MIME::Lite::HTML 
    From         => 'Someone@anyplace.com',
    To         => 'someoneelse@theirplace.com', 
    Subject     => 'Search here if you want!', 
    'X-Priority'=> 1,
    'X-MSMail-Priority' => 'High',
;

$mailHTML::MIME::Lite->attach( Type =>'text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
+', 
        Data => '<b>Brought to you now!</b>',
     ); 

my $URL = 'http://google.com';
my $MIMEmail = $mailHTML->parse("$URL");

$MIMEmail->send_by_smtp('smtp-server.cfl.rr.com');
