Using MIME::Tools (i.e., MIME::Entity's build()) would obviate
generating the boundary yourself. Nevertheless, the specification is
below.

This is from RFC 1521 (section 7.2.1, "Multipart: the common
syntax"):

   boundary := 0*69<bchars> bcharsnospace

   bchars := bcharsnospace / " "

   bcharsnospace :=    DIGIT / ALPHA / "'" / "(" / ")" / "+" /"_"
                 / "," / "-" / "." / "/" / ":" / "=" / "?"
