Hi Thomas,
It is very strange. I ran your code after changing email addresses and my file name and it worked. I will see why mine isn't working.
Thanks for all your help.

I've used MIME::Lite a couple times but have never run across this before. I would suggest changing 'Path' as follows
Path => $datDir/$filename,
The MIME::Lite documentation says
Path
Alternative to "Data" or "FH". Path to a file containing the
data... actually, it can be any open()able expression. If it
looks like a path, the last element will automatically be
treated as the filename. See "ReadNow" also.
In your example above, I'm wondering if it's looking for "file" as the filename.
I also found it helpful to turn on debugging with
$msg->send('smtp','localhost', Debug=>1);
Here's my working test script:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use MIME::Lite;
### Create the multipart "container":
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From =>'thomas at brightbill.net',
To =>'thomas at brightbill.net',
Subject =>'A message with 2 parts...',
Type =>'multipart/mixed'
);
### Add the text message part:
### (Note that "attach" has same arguments as "new"):
$msg->attach(
Type =>'TEXT',
Data =>"Here's the spreadsheet file you wanted"
);
### Add the spreadsheet:
$msg->attach(
Type =>'application/vnd.ms-excel',
Path =>'/home/thomas/testfile.xls',
Filename =>'testfile.xls',
Disposition => 'attachment'
);
$msg->send('smtp','localhost', Debug=>1);
