I am using MIME Lite along with sendmail to sendmail when a file is greater than 0 bytes, but it is not actually sending the contents, but the rather the variable name which I understand why, but I want to send the actual data in the Data => line. 
my $scratchtps="/usr/local/log/sctps";
   sub mailme {

                my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                        From    => 'EDM01 <root@edm01.ohnet>',
                        To     =>  'Derek Smith <dbsmith@ohiohealth.co
+m>',
                        Subject => "EDM Return Tapes",
                        Data    => $scratchtps );
                        $msg->send;
        }

if ( -s $scratchtps ) {
        &mailme;
}
