You're right, you should be asking about perl here. MIME::Lite is what I'd suggest looking at, along with Writeup Formatting Tips and PerlMonks for the Absolute Beginner.

Email::Simple is a lovely way to send email (testable too!)

You don't have a doubt, you have a question! The difference between "its" and "it's" eludes even most native speakers, but you should have noticed your post is a mess in the preview, read about Markup in the Monastery or at least the "Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!" sentence right under the textbox and fixed the formatting. I doubt people feel like helping someone who posts an unreadable off-topic post. You were too lazy to make it readable, why should we waste our time?

"You don't have a doubt, you have a question!"

Discussed under "Question" vs "Doubt".

I know I should be asking a perl query here but I have a very simple Shell Doubt. Please help..

(
                echo "From: $MAILFROM"

                echo "Subject: $SUBJECT$MAIL_DATE$hr"
                echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
                echo 'Content-Type:multipart/mixed; boundary="A_MIME_B
+OUNDARY"'
                echo "--A_MIME_BOUNDARY"
                echo "Content-Type:text/html"
