Mail with Attachment in UNIX

Fuism has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there an option to send mail on Unix with a perl script? I looked at the manpage and documentation and do no see any options to use for attachments. Im using the -s for subject and including the text in "no_error.txt" into the email but need to attach a file to send with it. Sorry, I just posted the Win32:OLE, that works but I get a pop-up in Outlook(stating "A program is trying automatically send email on your behalf" that needs input with 'Yes' or 'NO' button) which doesnt automate my script since it needs intervention. Thanks in advance for your Perl or Unix wisdom. Heres the code I currently have:

`mailx -s GLS_FTP_TEST $email <no_error.txt`
[download]

Thanks again, Fuism

You could look at Mail::Sender, it appears that it will do what you want. May the Force be with you	[reply]

In any OS Mail::SendEasy: `use Mail::SendEasy ; Mail::SendEasy::send( from => 'sender@foo.com' , to => 'recp@domain.foo' , subject => "MAIL Test" , msg => "The Plain Msg..." , anex => "file.zip" , ) ;` [download] Graciliano M. P. "Creativity is the expression of the liberty".	[reply] [d/l]
