I don't think that Net::SMTP allows for attachments but the module Mime::Lite does. Mime::Lite is part of Activestate's core distribution. Below is a very stripped down example of using the module. I copped it out of a running program and took out the program specific variables and references so it may not work right out of the can but it should give you an idea.

#!/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.6/bin/perl
# Compiler directives and Includes
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use Mime::Lite;

# Constants and pragmas
use constant TRUE      => scalar 1;
use constant FALSE     => scalar 0;
