I was reading Perl Script, MS OutLook and saw a link posted to How do I send e-mail from my Perl Program?. I used the example code and it worked (see below). Can I send e-mail with attachments (Excel, Word, etc.) using this stanard version of Perl (This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)? That is, can I do it without CPAN downloads?

Thanks. 

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SMTP;

my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('MAILSERVER') or die $!;

my ($from, $to) = ('blah@domain.com', 'user@otherdomain.com');
my ($subject, $message) = ('Test subject', 'Test message');

$smtp->mail( $from );
$smtp->to( $to );
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("To: $to\n");
$smtp->datasend("From: $from\n");
$smtp->datasend("Subject: $subject\n");
$smtp->datasend("\n"); # done with header
$smtp->datasend($message);
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit(); # all done. message sent.
