Mail::Outlook - it works but without attachment

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

Dear Monks,
it ought to be simple :-) - almost copied-and-pasted from the module documentation (script s. below).
It works, but the email comes without attachment.
The email is sent through MS Exchange Server if this matters.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Mail::Outlook;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';

my $outlook = new Mail::Outlook('Inbox');

my $file = "D:/TEMP/Text1.txt";

my $message = $outlook->create();
$message->To('me@mycompany.com');
$message->Subject('Test');
$message->Body('Test Message');
$message->Attach($file);
$message->send;

Also add `Win32::OLE->Option(Warn => 3);` (or Warn => 2 )	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you very much! It seems that Outlook did not see the network drive - as I changed the $file to "C:/Temp/Text.txt" the email came with the attachment. The `dd [ $message->display ]` produced `[1]` if the email came without attachment, in the last run (as email came with attachment) there were no output (I put the line as the last line in the script). The `Win32::OLE->Option(Warn => 3);` produced a message that an exception error in PROPERTYPUT "To" occured at the line 380 of Message.pm. This line deals with the "To" field (`$self->{message}->{To} = $self->{To};` ) and it occures even after the successful delivery of the email (with or without an attachment). I have just used my address to test the email. Thank you very much again!	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It works, but the email comes without attachment. What am I doing wrong? Are you authorized to send attachements? Try `use Data::Dump; dd [ $message->display ];`, probably your something here is stripping the message	[reply] [d/l]
