Problem sending excel attachments with MIME::Lite in perl
I am running a perl script that generates an excel doc and then emails it as an attachment. I can generate the excel file fine. I can scp it from the box and open it with no problems. When I send it over email, the file does open properly. The file in email is only 288 B, but on the server it is 2K. Please help.

I am not sure it matters, but I am running this script in the Solaris OS.

Code:
        my $emailrep = MIME::Lite->new(
                To => $EMAIL_RCPT,
                Subject => $SUBJECT,
                Type => 'multipart/mixed'
        ) || &errordie("-emailreport- Cannot create new email with MIME::Lite: $!");

        $emailrep->attach (
                Type => 'TEXT',
                Data => $mymessage
        ) || &errordie("-emailreport- Cannot create new email with MIME::Lite: $!");

        $emailrep->attach (
                Path => $OUTDIR,
                Filename => $EXCELREPORT,
                Type => 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
                Dispostion => 'attachment'
        ) || &errordie("-emailreport- Cannot create email with attachment: $!");

        $emailrep->send("sendmail");

shorewall-lite-vardir

SHOREWALL-LITE-VAR(5)						  [FIXME: manual]					     SHOREWALL-LITE-VAR(5)

NAME

       vardir - Shorewall Lite file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir

DESCRIPTION

       This file does not exist by default. You may create the file if you want to change the directory used by Shorewall Lite to store state
       information, including compiled firewall scripts. By default, the directory used is /var/lib/shorewall-lite/.

       The file contains a single variable assignment:

       VARDIR=directory

       where directory is the name of a directory. If you add this file, you should copy the files from /var/lib/shorewall-lite to the new
       directory before performing a shorewall-lite restart.

	   Note
	   Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.2, use of this file is deprecated in favor of specifying VARDIR in the shorewallrc file used during
	   installation of Shorewall Core. While the name of the variable remains VARDIR, the meaning is slightly different. When set in
	   shorewallrc, Shorewall Lite, will create a directory under the specified path name to hold state information.

	   Example:

	   VARDIR=/opt/var/lib/

	   The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be /opt/var/lib/shorewall-lite/.

	   When VARDIR is set in /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir, Shorewall Lite will save its state in the directory specified.

EXAMPLE

       VARDIR=/root/shorewall

FILES

       /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir
