I think that I've narrowed the problematic code down to these snippets 
$path = '';


$new_message = MIME::Lite->new(
                From    =>'info@constellar.com',
                To      =>"$receiver",
                        Subject =>'Whitepaper request',
                        Type    =>'multipart/mixed'
                        );
        
$new_message->attach(Type     =>'BINARY',
                     Path     =>"$path",
                     Filename =>"$file"
                     );
                     

$new_message->send;

The script runs fine when I comment out the $new_message->attach block ..
either the $path or one of the Type's is wrong ... I think .. any ideas ?
