Hi Fernando,

You can use PDF::API2 and MIME::Lite to achieve what you want. I am sending you a sample, change the placeholder values with your own before running it.

Regards,
G.

use MIME::Lite; use PDF::API2; #your mail server my $mymailserver='mymailserver'; #the pdf path my $save_pdf_as="/mypdf.pdf"; # Create a blank PDF file my $pdf = PDF::API2->new(); # Add a blank page my $page = $pdf->page(); # Set the page size $page->mediabox('Letter'); # Add a built-in font to the PDF my $font = $pdf->corefont('Helvetica-Bold'); # Add some text to the page my $text = $page->text(); $text->font($font, 20); $text->translate(200, 700); $text->text('Hello World!'); # Save the PDF $pdf->saveas($save_pdf_as); my $msg = MIME::Lite->new ( From => 'myemail@mydomain.com', To => 'recipient@example.com', Subject => 'Test', Type =>'multipart/mixed' ) or die "Error creating multipart container: $!\n"; ### Add the text message part $msg->attach ( Type => 'TEXT', Data => 'Please open the attachment' ) or die "Error adding text: $!\n"; #add the file $msg->attach( Type => 'application/pdf', Path => $save_pdf_as, Filename => 'a_name_for_your_file.pdf', Disposition => 'attachment' ) or die "Error adding attachment: $!\n"; MIME::Lite->send('smtp', $mymailserver, Timeout=>60); $msg->send;
