I agree the errors usually tell the story but for some reason the message hasn't been getting thru to me :)
Also, If I appear to know better, please don't let it fool you, I am new to perl (couple of weeks or so) but have worked in several other langs... sometimes I think that may actually be baggage for me ;-)

Anyhow, I had already tried the approach you mentioned, seemed natual. However, I got the following error:

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

Can't locate object method "attach" via package "MIME::Lite::HTML" at 
+mailhml.pl line 15.

So that's when I tried "scoping" the reference (terminology???) to get at the method I want.

Perhaps, your statement

This presupposes that the ::Lite extension does properly inherit, of course.

I guess I will go peruse the source. Any other thoughts?

Thanks
