Error Sending zip file as attachments in perl
Hi All,

i have a code, where that script is sending mail to the users, but i want to enhance
it, i.e i need to add attachment(zip file) to that, i dont want to use MIME:LITE module or any other module, with this simple code, i need to enhance.

below is my code
Code:
my %mail_params = (HTML    => $mail_body,
                       Text    => $mail_body,
                       From    => $MAIL_FROM,
                       To      => $MAIL_TO,
                       Subject => $mail_subject,);

    $mail_params{HTML} = "<HTML><pre>$mail_params{Text}<\><\\HTML>";
    my $mail = HTML::Mail->new(%mail_params);

$mail->send()

I dont want to use any modules, like MIME, sendmailer .....

Hi All,

I came to know that i can use mutt command, to send mails with attachments, in shell i can send, and when i execute
Code:
`mutt -a <file_name> ak@apps.com < /dev/null`

in command line, i received mail with attachment, so i used this command in perl script using back quotes ` . i'm not able to execute properly. i'm getting an error as when i used mutt in perl script.

Code:
Error sending message, child exited 67 (User unknown.).

Can anyone let me know how to send attachment in perl without using any modules,

Thanks,
asak

HI Latika,

i tried using system command with ` quotes. i got same error.
Code:
Error sending message, child exited 67 (User unknown.).

Below is my standalone script to send file(filer.txt)
Code:
$LOGDIR="/home/user3/filer.txt";

$email = "asak@gmail.com";
#$a = `sudo echo | mutt -a $LOGDIR arunak@netapp.com < /dev/null`;
system (`mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com < /dev/null`);
#system ("sh mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com < /dev/null");
#my $cmd = "echo mutt -a $LOGDIR asak@gmail.com < /dev/null";
#my $check_ps = `$cmd`;

is there are any other way to send mail with attachments, without installing modules.

Thanks,
Asak
