If you're running your scripts on a UNIX box you could also use uuencode.
This is not as tidy as using MIME but also works.
For example:
open (MAIL,"| uuencode $attachment_file_name | mail email@address");
<mailto:email@address>
print MAIL "whatever you think the attachment should contain";
close MAIL;

Use the MIME-tools-4.124 module + dependencies. It makes it a breeze to
attach
documents.
