You don't really need Perl for that, either. And you should make sure there is an empty line between the headers and the body.

Code:
( cat <<HERE; cat /path/to/file.html) | sendmail -oi -t
From: sender@example.com
To: recipients@example.net
Subject: We hate you, so we send HTML instead of plain text
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html
Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit

HERE

You should properly have Mime-Version and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers as well as Content-Type. The issue of correct MIME transfer encoding is one of the many possible complexities which is simply ignored here (and one of the reasons simple shell scripts don't work well in the general case).

If your cat can combine standard input with a regular file, more power to you.

Code:
cat - /path/to/file.html <<HERE | sendmail -oi -t

Mail::DKIM::Algorithm::Base(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    Mail::DKIM::Algorithm::Base(3)

NAME
Mail::DKIM::Algorithm::Base - base class for DKIM "algorithms" SYNOPSIS
my $algorithm = new Mail::DKIM::Algorithm::rsa_sha1( Signature => $dkim_signature ); # add headers $algorithm->add_header("Subject: this is the subject1512"); $algorithm->finish_header; # add body $algorithm->add_body("This is the body.1512"); $algorithm->add_body("Another line of the body.1512"); $algorithm->finish_body; # now sign or verify... # TODO... CONSTRUCTOR
You should not create an object of this class directly. Instead, use one of the DKIM algorithm implementation classes, such as rsa_sha1: my $algorithm = new Mail::DKIM::Algorithm::rsa_sha1( Signature => $dkim_signature ); METHODS
add_body() - feeds part of the body into the algorithm/canonicalization $algorithm->add_body("This is the body.1512"); $algorithm->add_body("Another line of the body.1512"); The body should be fed one "line" at a time. add_header() - feeds a header field into the algorithm/canonicalization $algorithm->add_header("Subject: this is the subject1512"); The header must start with the header field name and continue through any folded lines (including the embedded <CRLF> sequences). It terminates with the <CRLF> at the end of the header field. finish_body() - signals the end of the message body $algorithm->finish_body Call this method when all lines from the body have been submitted. After calling this method, use sign() or verify() to get the results from the algorithm. finish_header() - signals the end of the header field block $algorithm->finish_header; Call this method when all the headers have been submitted. sign() - generates a signature using a private key $base64 = $algorithm->sign($private_key); signature() - get/set the signature worked on by this algorithm my $old_signature = $algorithm->signature; $algorithm->signature($new_signature); verify() - verifies a signature $result = $algorithm->verify(); Must be called after finish_body(). The result is a true/false value: true indicates the signature data is valid, false indicates it is invalid. For an invalid signature, details may be obtained from $algorithm->{verification_details} or $@. SEE ALSO
