You would use a MIME module to generate $message with an attached file. (This would likely be an example of $message not being a Str; it would be some kind of MIME object which let you add or reference attachments, and had a .Str method to generate the actual encoded message to be sent over SMTP.) (SMTP is a network protocol. It doesn't even necessarily need to be mail, although that is by far its most common usage. It only handles plain text. MIME is the specification for including attachments and formatted text / HTML / etc., and how those things are encoded as plain text and decoded for viewing or extraction.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
