sending emails with attachements via gmail

morgon has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have been pointed to Re^3: gmail sending in 2020 for sending emails via gmail in the modern age.

However at the moment I cannot figure out how to add attachments to the mail...

Has anybody a working example of how to send emails via gmail with attachments that works in the year 2020 since Christ was born?

I would be so grateful...

Several of the modules in that thread are by RJBS, who has additional modules that can handle attachments, such as Email::Stuffer. Untested, but try something like this instead of the Email::Simple code in that thread: `Email::Stuffer ->from($smtp{user}) ->to($smtp{to}) ->subject($smtp{subject}) ->text_body($smtp{body}) ->attach_file('example.txt') ->transport($transport) ->send;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

From the synopisis of Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail: `use strict; use warnings; use Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail; my ($mail,$error)=Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail->new( -smtp=>'smtp.gmail.co +m', -login=>'whateveraddr +ess@gmail.com', -pass=>'whatever_pass +'); print "session error: $error" unless ($email!=-1); $mail->send(-to=>'target@xxx.com', -subject=>'Hello!', -body=>'Just te +sting it', -attachments=>'full_path_to_file'); $mail->bye;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
