Hi monks,

I'm trying to send pdf files as attachment in emails sent with Net::SMTP. The PDF files reside on my website (like home/mysite/files/PDF_FILES_HERE).

The code I have below is for sending normal emails:

use strict;
use Net::SMTP;
use MIME::Base64;
 
my $smtphost = 'some_smtp_host';
my $username = 'some_username';
my $password = 'some_password';
my $emailto = 'to@hello.com';
my $emailfrom = 'from@hello.com';
my $subject = 'Hello world';
my $message = 'Test message';

sub date_r {
    my ($monthday, $mon, $yr, $ time, $hour, $str);
    my (@lt) = ();

    @lt = localtime();
    $monthday = $lt[3];
    $mon = $lt[4]+1;
    $yr = $lt[5] + 1900;
    $hour = $lt[2];
    $time = sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", $hour, $lt[1], $lt[0]);
    $str = $mon . '/' .$monthday . '/' . $yr . ' ' . $time;
    return $str;
}

my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new($smtphost, Debug => 1, Timeout => 5);


$smtp->datasend("AUTH LOGIN\n");
$smtp->datasend(encode_base64($username));
$smtp->datasend(encode_base64($password));

$smtp->mail($emailfrom);
$smtp->to($emailto);

$smtp->data();

$smtp->datasend("MIME-Version: 1.0\n");
$smtp->datasend("From: $emailfrom\n");
$smtp->datasend("To: $emailto\n");
$smtp->datasend("Date: " . date_r() . "\n");
$smtp->datasend("Subject: $subject");
$smtp->datasend("\n\n");
$smtp->datasend($message);
$smtp->datasend("\n\n");

$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;

What do I need to change to make so that I can send attachments (pdf files)?

Please enlighten me. Thank you in advance.
