Description:

MIME::Lite is intended as a simple, standalone module for generating
(not parsing!) MIME messages... specifically, it allows you to output a
simple, decent single- or multi-part message with text or binary
attachments. It does not require that you have the Mail:: or MIME::
modules installed.

You can specify each message part as either the literal data itself (in
a scalar or array), or as a string which can be given to open() to get
a readable filehandle (e.g., "<filename" or "somecommand|").

You don't need to worry about encoding your message data: this module
will do that for you. It handles the 5 standard MIME encodings.

If you need more sophisticated behavior, please get the MIME-tools
package instead. I will be more likely to add stuff to that toolkit
over this one.
