Here is an example that works on my Win32 box:

use MIME::Lite;

my $smtp = 'mail.trump.net.au';  # (typically your ISPs SMTP server)
my $from = 'james.freeman@smartsurf.org';
my $to   = $from;
my @cc   = qw( );   # add addresses here to Cc, space separated
my $sbj  = 'A test with attachment';

my @cc   = ( "Cc" => (join ',', @cc) ) if @cc;


my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
    From    => $from,
    To      => $to,
    @cc,
    Subject => $sbj,
    Type    =>'multipart/mixed',
) or die "Could not create Mime::Lite object!";

$msg->attach(
    Type     =>'TEXT',
    Data     =>"Here's the file you wanted"
);

$msg->attach(
    Type     =>'image/gif',            # often 'application/octet-stre
+am'
    Path     =>"C:\\background.gif",   # full path to file
    Filename =>'background.gif'        # name we want to use in email 
+for file
);

#print $msg->as_string;

$msg->send_by_smtp( $smtp) or die "Could not send mail $!\n";
