uuencode is standard email attachment encoding, considered appropriate and borrowed since it can represent arbitrary binary data as line-length-limited ASCII text. All email attachments use it though you seldom see the underlying details like this.
But you wanted a way to create a link to the file, not just email it whole. First, you need a host you control, ideally a web server. Second, you put a file on it, perhaps with scp? Third, you send someone a link to it. Details depend on your webserver and how you want to implement this. using filelink may not be practical unless filelink offers a UNIX interface since reverse-engineering the filelink binary executable would be a herculean task.

mail::verify
Mail::Verify(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Verify(3pm)
NAME
Mail::Verify - Utility to verify an email address
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Verify;
DESCRIPTION
"Mail::Verify" provides a function CheckAddress function for verifying email addresses. First the syntax of the email address is checked,
then it verifies that there is at least one valid MX server accepting email for the domain. Using Net::DNS and IO::Socket a list of MX
records (or, falling back on a hosts A record) are checked to make sure at least one SMTP server is accepting connections.
ERRORS
Here are a list of return codes and what they mean:
0 The email address appears to be valid.
1 No email address was supplied.
2 There is a syntaxical error in the email address.
3 There are no DNS entries for the host in question (no MX records or A records).
4 There are no live SMTP servers accepting connections for this email address.
EXAMPLES
This example shows obtaining an email address from a form field and verifying it.
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use Mail::Verify;
my $q = new CGI;
[...]
my $email = $q->param("emailaddr");
my $email_ck = Mail::Verify::CheckAddress( $email );
if( $email_ck ) {
print '<h1>Form input error: Invalid email address.</h1>';
}
[...]
