Perl - Emailing MULTIPLE files as attachment

There is a very eloquent example in cookbook.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# mail-attachment - send files as attachments
 
use MIME::Lite;
use Getopt::Std;
 
my $SMTP_SERVER = 'smtp.example.com';           # CHANGE ME
my $DEFAULT_SENDER = 'sender@example.com';      # CHANGE ME
my $DEFAULT_RECIPIENT = 'recipient@example.com';# CHANGE ME  
 
MIME::Lite->send('smtp', $SMTP_SERVER, Timeout=>60);
 
my (%o, $msg);
 
# process options
 
getopts('hf:t:s:', \%o);
 
$o{f} ||= $DEFAULT_SENDER;
$o{t} ||= $DEFAULT_RECIPIENT;
$o{s} ||= 'Your binary file, sir';
 
if ($o{h} or !@ARGV) {
    die "usage:\n\t$0 [-h] [-f from] [-t to] [-s subject] file ...\n";
}
 
# construct and send email
 
$msg = new MIME::Lite(
    From => $o{f},
    To   => $o{t},
    Subject => $o{s},
    Data => "Hi",
    Type => "multipart/mixed",
);
 
while (@ARGV) {
  $msg->attach('Type' => 'application/octet-stream',
               'Encoding' => 'base64',
               'Path' => shift @ARGV);
}
 
$msg->send(  )

Include attached files when you run script.

Otherwise, you can do it the hard way.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
use MIME::Lite; 

$msg = MIME::Lite->new( 
	From => 'you@yoursite.com', 
	To => 'you@yoursite.com', 
	Subject => 'Multiple attachments', 
	Type => 'multipart/mixed');
 
$msg->attach(	Type		=>'text/plain', 
		Path 		=>"/data/file1.csv", 
		Filename 	=>"file1.csv");

$msg->attach(	Type		=>'text/plain', 
		Path 		=>"/data/file2.csv", 
		Filename 	=>"file2.csv");

$msg->attach(	Type		=>'TEXT',
		Data		=>'Hello mom');
 

## Attach etc...

$msg->send();	#sendmail(1) or $msg->send('smtp', 'mailserver.yoursite.com');

I do not think there is another way then MIME.
