Hi,
I have a small script using sendmail, I want to send a file to myself but as an attachment. I am able to send this file contents in the e-mail itself but can't figure out how to send it as an attachment. Does anyone know how I can do this? Unfortunately, I do not have perl modules that can probably accomplish this task more easily and I do not have permission to download anything...so I need to stick with what I have now. Thanks a lot! 
#!/usr/bin/perl

my $sendmail = "/usr/bin/sendmail -t";
my $reply_to = "Reply-to: bozo\n";
my $subject  = "Subject: Put the subject here\n";
my $to       = "To: myself\@mydomain.com\n";

open(SENDMAIL, "|$sendmail") or die "Cannot open $sendmail: $!";
print SENDMAIL $to;
print SENDMAIL $subject;
print SENDMAIL "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print SENDMAIL `cat /the/file/i/want/to/send`;
close(SENDMAIL);
