in reply to Re^2: How to process html script with perl
in thread How to process html script with perl

is it correct ?
Not quite.

First of all, I feel it needs to be said that HTML is not a scripting language. It is a markup language.

Next, your open() statement will never work. Why? Because you can't put it in a hashref like that, and still get your expected result. You may also want to see the documentation for MIME::Lite.
Instead, use something like the following:

$msg->attach( Type => "text/html", Id => "sample.html", Path => "/path/to/sample.html" );

...which should save you some hassle with the files.

I hope that solves(or at least helps) your question, although I do highly advise you to read perlintro, among others.
