Hi monks,

I've seen a few threads about mail bot recently, And intended to write a snippet for it also. the code like this: 

use strict;
use warnings;

use Net::SMTP::TLS;  
use MIME::Entity;

my $msg = MIME::Entity->build(
        From    => 'xxxx@gmail.com',
        To      => 'xxxx@gmail.com',
        Subject => 'JPG',
        Type    => 'multipart/mixed',
);
    
$msg->attach(Type    => 'image/jpeg',
             Path    => 'd05_24365339.jpg',
             Encoding => '-SUGGEST',
);
my $data_send = $msg->stringify();
=head
    opendir my $dh, ".";
   for (readdir $dh){
    $msg->attach(
        Type     => 'image/jpeg',
        Path     => $_,
        Filename => $_,
        Disposition => 'attachment',
    ) if /jpg$/;
print if /jpg$/;
}
=cut
my $mailer = new Net::SMTP::TLS(  
    'smtp.gmail.com',  
    Hello   =>      'andy.com',  
    Port    =>      587,  
    User    =>      'xxxxx@gmail.com',  
    Password=>      'xxxxxx',
    Timeout =>      1200,
    Debug   =>     1,
);  
 
$mailer->to('xxxx@gmail.com');  
$mailer->data;  
$mailer->datasend($data_send);  
$mailer->dataend;  
$mailer->quit;

The snippet run successfully except for one: it split image into 17 parts which each about 12K!

I'm not familiar with MIME and SMTP. hope perl guru could give me quick answer to enlighten me!

TIA
