Hi

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");

Getting below error when i try mail command

 
mail: invalid option -- a
Usage: mail [-iInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] to-addr ..
+.
            [-- sendmail-options ...]
       mail [-iInNv] -f [name]
       mail [-iInNv] [-u user]

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
