I am attempting to send an email message with an attached text file.
Here is the code that creates the file in question:

if($#ARGV==-1)
{
    #use current date
    $date='date--d'1 day ago'+'%Y-%m-%d'';
    chop($date);
}
else
{
    print"USAGE: summary.pl[date yyyy-mm-dd]\n";
}
$rptname="summary".$date.".txt";

print"Date:  ",$date,"\n";
print"Report: ",$rptname,"\n";
open(RPT,">$rptname")||warn "Unable to open report file: $!\n";

And here is the code that should send me the attached file.
The name of the file should be (in this case): summary2000-07-23.txt


use MIME::Lite;

$msg=MIME::Lite->new(
            From    =>'root@localhost.mycompany.com',
            To    =>'myname@mycompany.com',
            Subject    =>'Summary Report',
            Type    =>'multipart/mixed');

$msg->attach(Type =>'TEXT',
         Data =>"Summary Report for yesterday");

$msg->attach(Type =>'TEXT',
         Path =>'$rptname',
         Filename =>'summary'.$date.'.txt');

$msg->send;

However, when I run this program, I don't receive anything in my mailbox.
Any ideas? TStanley
