help help monks! peace has left my house! my sanity is wearing thin!

I am using mime tools to assemle an email with a body and a text file attachment. However, the text file is just being inserted into the body of the email. 

    my $entity = MIME::Entity->build
        (
            Type => 'multipart/mixed',
            From => 'email',
            To => 'address',
            Subject => "blah",
        )
        or die "Error creating MIME entity: $!\n";

    $entity->attach(
            Type => 'text/plain',
            #Encoding => 'base64',
            Data=>join("\n",@msg_body)
        );

    $entity->attach(
            Filename => "report.txt",
            Type =>'text/plain',
            Data => join("\n",@attach)
        )
        or die "Error adding the text message part: $!\n";

    $entity->smtpsend;
