[oak perl] MIME::Lite question

[M. Lewis]

Thanks Michael. As David just gave me a new acronym.... NMD.

I've found through many google searches there is a module called
MIME::Lite::HTML. I've just begun trying this, but right now, it's not
working like I want. I've tried:

my $msg = new MIME::Lite::HTML
 From     => "$from",
To       => "$recipient",
Subject  => "$subject";

$msg = $msg->parse("$content");
$msg->send;


But all that really happens with this is it sends the filename as the
message rather than the html.
