Hello,
I'm a newbie to perl and i'd like some assistance trying to figure out how to send an attachment using MIME::Lite. I have searched the net far and wide and have used and modify different examples of attachment scripts. Unfortunately, i have had no luck trying to execute my script.
Every time i attempt to execute the script i receive the following response:
Global symbol "$msg" requires explicit package name at attach1.pl line 22.
Global symbol "$msg" requires explicit package name at attach1.pl line 30.
Global symbol "$msg" requires explicit package name at attach1.pl line 36.
Global symbol "$file_gif" requires explicit package name at attach1.pl line 41.
Global symbol "$msg" requires explicit package name at attach1.pl line 43.
Below is the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Lite;
### Adjust sender, recipient and your SMTP mailhost
my $from_address = 'elliot.anico@cellularatsea.com';
my $to_address = 'elliot.anico@cellularatsea.com';
### Adjust subject and body message
my $subject = 'A message with 2 parts ...';
my $message_body = "Here's the attachment file(s) you wanted";
### Adjust the filenames
my $my_file_pdf = '/export/home/omcadmin/bin/test.pdf';
my $your_file_pdf = 'test.pdf';
### Create the multipart container
$msg = MIME::Lite->new (
From => $from_address,
To => $to_address,
Subject => $subject,
Type =>'multipart/mixed'
) or die "Error creating multipart container: $!\n";
### Add the text message part
$msg->attach (
Type => 'TEXT',
Data => $message_body
) or die "Error adding the text message part: $!\n";
### Add the PDF file
$msg->attach (
Type => 'pdf/pdf',
Path => $my_file_pdf,
Filename => $your_file_pdf,
Disposition => 'attachment'
) or die "Error adding $file_gif: $!\n";
$msg->send;
I know this is probably something stupid. Can someone assist me with this?
