I asked this question a while back but I never got it resolved. It could be the way I asked it. So I will try to explain in detail this time. (Below is the code in reference)

When I send an e-mail using MIME::Lite, I need my log file "available.log" to be an attachment and the body of the e-mail to be the contents of "available.log", which, based upon the below code would contain :

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

What is happening, still, is that the "available.log", IS properly received as an attachment, BUT the body contents of the e-mail contains:

/export/home/netbackup/logs/available.log

which is the absolute path to the file but not the contents of the log file.

I do have a screen shot for a visual if this would help anyone.

Thanks and sorry for posting again

use IO::Tee;
$OutFile = "/export/home/netbackup/logs/available.log";
$tee = new IO::Tee(\*STDOUT, new IO::File(">$OutFile"));
print $tee "Line 1\n";
print $tee "Line 2\n";
Print $tee "Line3\n"
