Where's the code? Oh yeah, it's in the docs.

Okay not fully but enough to get your started. Here's the doc code a bit expanded:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wd

use MIME::Lite;
use strict;

die "usage: $0 file" unless @ARGV == 1;

open my $fh, "<$ARGV[0]" or die "Can't open $ARGV[0]: $!";
local( $/ ) = undef;
my $data = <$fh>;
close $fh;

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

$msg->attach( Type => 'TEXT',
              Data => $data,
            );
$msg->attach( Type        => 'text/plain',
              Path        => $ARGV[0],
              Filename    => $ARGV[0],
              Disposition => 'attachment'
            );

$msg->send;

If this does not show up as text body and an attachment, then double check your email client - it may not handle MIME well.
