I'm not exactly sure which parts to substitute in your code. Here is my code, which has partially worked, as I've noted, but not as I wish. Earlier in the script, I am opening filehandles, and writing them to .txt files to create the attachments (i.e.): 
open (ORDER_DATA, ">$order_dir/temp_order.txt") || die "Can't open $or
+der_dir/temp_order.txt!\n";
        select (ORDER_DATA);
        &print_form;
        select (STDOUT);
    close (ORDER_DATA);

Then, here is the mime::lite section:

### Create the multipart "container":
        $msg = MIME::Lite->new( 
                     From    =>$FORM{"email"},
                     To      =>$recipient,
                     Subject =>"STI Document Order $FORM{ORDER_NUMBER}
+",
                     Type    =>'multipart/mixed');
        
        $msg->attach(Path =>"$order_dir/temp_order.txt");
                    
        ### Add the attachment:
        $msg->attach(Path =>"$order_dir/temp_order_attach.txt",
              Disposition =>'attachment');
        $text = $msg->as_string;
        $msg->send($mailprog);

Can you tell me the best way to adapt the (ARGV[0], and $fh parts of your code to mine, so I can make this work using my .txt files?
