A good way is probably Mail::Sender as AidanLee already pointed out below.

If you (really have to) do it "by hand" using low level modules,
You'll have to give this kind of struct to the body :

--$boundary
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$boundary2\"

--$boundary2
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="..."
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

txt goes here

--$boundary2
Content-Type: text/html; charset="..."
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

html goes here

--$boundary2--

--$boundary--
[download]

Don't forget to add the :

content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\"
[download]

in the header.

Hopes this helps...

UPDATE :
Added the Mail::Sender mention.
UPDATE2 :
Noticed that it was already given by AidanLee.I gave credits.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
