Hi. When interacting with external programs you have to know how they work. Luckily someone has already worked with sendmail and worked out the details

  How do I use MIME to make an attachment to a mail message?
    This answer is extracted directly from the MIME::Lite documentatio
+n.
    Create a multipart message (i.e., one with attachments).

        use MIME::Lite;

        ### Create a new multipart message:
        $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                     From    =>'me@myhost.com',
                     To      =>'you@yourhost.com',
                     Cc      =>'some@other.com, some@more.com',
                     Subject =>'A message with 2 parts...',
                     Type    =>'multipart/mixed'
                     );

        ### Add parts (each "attach" has same arguments as "new"):
        $msg->attach(Type     =>'TEXT',
                     Data     =>"Here's the GIF file you wanted"
                     );
        $msg->attach(Type     =>'image/gif',
                     Path     =>'aaa000123.gif',
                     Filename =>'logo.gif'
                     );

        $text = $msg->as_string;

    MIME::Lite also includes a method for sending these things.

        $msg->send;

    This defaults to using sendmail(1) but can be customized to use SM
+TP via
    Net::SMTP.

If sendmail doesn't work, try the smtp method. If neither work for you then you need to talk to your system administrator.

If you need to install MIME::Lite, visit our Tutorials section and read A guide to installing modules (and the docs referenced ).

Good luck.
