metamail -- available at
http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/metamail.html -- will give you great flexibility to generate complex email messages with attachments.
A far simpler solution is to use the ol' UNIX standard uuencode command.
Given two files, statement.txt and invoice.pdf,
uuencode invoice.pdf invoice.pdf | cat statement.txt - | mailx -s "Subject line" address@wherever.net
In short, invoice.pdf is uuencoded into plain text. The output is piped into cat which first writes statement.txt followed by the encoded pdf from the previous command. This is piped into mailx which sends it to the specified address with a "Subject line" subject.
If you need to maintain an audit trail, just insert a tee command before mailx.
uuencode invoice.pdf invoice.pdf | cat statement.txt - | tee /var/invoice/save/in20070210-1234.txt | mailx -s "Subject line" address@wherever.net

catalyst::view::email::template
Catalyst::View::Email::Template(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Catalyst::View::Email::Template(3pm)
NAME
Catalyst::View::Email::Template - Send Templated Email from Catalyst
SYNOPSIS
Sends templated mail, based upon your default view. It captures the output of the rendering path, slurps in based on mime-types and
assembles a multi-part email using Email::MIME::Creator and sends it out.
CONFIGURATION
WARNING: since version 0.10 the configuration options slightly changed!
Use the helper to create your view:
$ script/myapp_create.pl view Email::Template Email::Template
For basic configuration look at "CONFIGURATION" in Catalyst::View::Email.
In your app configuration (example in YAML):
View::Email::Template:
# Optional prefix to look somewhere under the existing configured
# template paths.
# Default: none
template_prefix: email
# Define the defaults for the mail
default:
# Defines the default view used to render the templates.
# If none is specified neither here nor in the stash
# Catalysts default view is used.
# Warning: if you don't tell Catalyst explicit which of your views should
# be its default one, C::V::Email::Template may choose the wrong one!
view: TT
SENDING EMAIL
Sending email works just like for Catalyst::View::Email but by specifying the template instead of the body and forwarding to your
Email::Template view:
sub controller : Private {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
$c->stash->{email} = {
to => 'jshirley@gmail.com',
cc => 'abraxxa@cpan.org',
bcc => 'hidden@secret.com hidden2@foobar.com',
from => 'no-reply@foobar.com',
subject => 'I am a Catalyst generated email',
template => 'test.tt',
content_type => 'multipart/alternative'
};
$c->forward( $c->view('Email::Template') );
}
Alternatively if you want more control over your templates you can use the following idiom to override the defaults. If charset and
encoding given, the body become properly encoded.
templates => [
{
template => 'email/test.html.tt',
content_type => 'text/html',
charset => 'utf-8',
encoding => 'quoted-printable',
view => 'TT',
},
{
template => 'email/test.plain.mason',
content_type => 'text/plain',
charset => 'utf-8',
encoding => 'quoted-printable',
view => 'Mason',
}
]
HANDLING ERRORS
See "HANDLING ERRORS" in Catalyst::View::Email.
METHODS
generate_part
Generates a MIME part to include in the email. Since the email is template based every template piece is a separate part that is
included in the email.
process
The process method is called when the view is dispatched to. This creates the multipart message and then sends the message contents off
to Catalyst::View::Email for processing, which in turn hands off to Email::Sender::Simple.
TODO
ATTACHMENTS
There needs to be a method to support attachments. What I am thinking is something along these lines:
attachments => [
# Set the body to a file handle object, specify content_type and
# the file name. (name is what it is sent at, not the file)
{ body => $fh, name => "foo.pdf", content_type => "application/pdf" },
# Or, specify a filename that is added, and hey, encoding!
{ filename => "foo.gif", name => "foo.gif", content_type => "application/pdf", encoding => "quoted-printable" },
# Or, just a path to a file, and do some guesswork for the content type
"/path/to/somefile.pdf",
]
