Hello again Anonymous Monk,
You need to treat the pdf as binary file. For the moment I do not have the time to play with your script to modify it but here is a sample of code that I just tested and works with pdf attachment using MIME::Lite.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Lite;
use Getopt::Std;
my $SMTP_SERVER = '127.0.0.1'; # CHANGE ME
my $DEFAULT_SENDER = 'sender@example.com'; # CHANGE ME
my $DEFAULT_RECIPIENT = 'recipient@example.com';# CHANGE ME
MIME::Lite->send('smtp', $SMTP_SERVER, Timeout=>60);
my (%o, $msg);
# process options
getopts('hf:t:s:', \%o);
$o{f} ||= $DEFAULT_SENDER;
$o{t} ||= $DEFAULT_RECIPIENT;
$o{s} ||= 'Your binary file, sir';
if ($o{h} or !@ARGV) {
die "usage:\n\t$0 [-h] [-f from] [-t to] [-s subject] file ...\n";
}
# construct and send email
$msg = new MIME::Lite(
From => $o{f},
To => $o{t},
Subject => $o{s},
Data => "Hi",
Type => "multipart/mixed",
);
while (@ARGV) {
$msg->attach('Type' => 'application/octet-stream',
'Encoding' => 'base64',
'Path' => shift @ARGV);
}
$msg->send( );
__END__
