Re: Perl Email attchment using Sendmail with out nay perl Modules like (MIME::Lite .etc )

in reply to Perl Email attchment using Sendmail with out nay perl Modules like (MIME::Lite .etc )

If you want to build a mail with attachment you have to build a valid MIME-message. That is not trivial. That's why there are so many big packages at CPAN. But if you really have the need, than I would suggest to look at the cli tool mail of your OS. The newer versions are able to handle attachments.

So my proposal:

my $rc = system("echo '' | mail -s 'Test' -a $file $to");

That's the reason I wrote: ... the newer versions ... So, in this special case you're out of luck. Is there a reason you can't install MIME::Lite as suggested by another monk here? Best regards McA	[reply]
