I am trying to learn the best way to send HTML formatted reports via e-mail using the standard modules that come with Perl 5.8. The examples I have seen assign blocks of HTML code to scalars and pass them to the NET::SMTP datasend() method etc. I was wondering if there was a better, more efficient way of doing this (maybe using filehandles?). The FORMAT command works ok for screen output but I wanted to have things look fancier when I send the report via email.

--As for the rest, it is mine.
I'd probably use Mail::Sender, it can handle multipart email quite easily, either from a file or from a scalar. (And in 5.8 you can use a scalar as a file.)
The 'multipart' part of it of course means that you can send both a HTML part and a plain text part...
