Hi All,
I am having a problem sending mail with Net::SMTP. Does this module
support attachements at all? I know that MIME::Lite supports
attachments, but I dont have it installed. And I also don't have
privilages to install it. I need another alternative.
Any ideas?
Regards

files. From command line everything works.

I have changed the path to the full path concerning the files

Okay.
Add this line at the top of the script:
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
Change this line:
$msg->send;
to
$msg->send or die "Error sending msg: $!";

They are not warnings, they are fatal errors.
What do they mean?
They mean that you are using variables without declaring them first.
You should not take those error messages too literally. If you did,
