How do I add an href to email?

Marza has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am writing a superdat notifier and I would like a reference link on where a person can click and get a file

The link in question is huge:

http://a64.g.akamai.net/7/64/2015/2002-05-22-11-03-36-300/download.nai.com/products/licensed/superdat/english/intel/sdat4204.exe

Obviously I would like a reference to it

This is what I have tried

        $msg .= "Network Associates SuperDat: ";
        $msg .= "<A HREF=" ;
        $msg .= "$basePage->{exeUrl}";  # this is the huge link
        $msg .= ">SuperDat";
        $msg .= '</A>';

Actually I have tried many things but the same giant line comes up. Forgive my lack of HTML knowledge but what can I do/look at?

Thank you for looking
