Attachments in mail using Net::SMTP?

[Goku81]

I have mail scripts written using SMTP but don't know how to send attachments. I just need to see if it can be done and what the code is if this can be done.

You can do this, but if you're using the Net::SMTP module alone, it's quite the pain. You need to encode your attachments in Base64, create unique delimiters in your message, and set the content type to multipart. Better to pick a different module -- I recommend MIME::Lite. You can get it off of CPAN of course.

Good luck,

Hey friend,
thanks for the advice but I forgot to mention I'm doing all of this from an NT box. that's what I have running the perl interpreter. IS Mime::Lite indepedent of OS? I know some of these mail modules I can't use cause I'm not running this stuff from a UNIX box
