How Attach() and Inline() work?
$obj->Attach($file);
$obj->Attach($file, \$filedata);
$obj->Attach($file, \*FILEHANDLE);$obj->Inline($file);
$obj->Inline($file, \$filedata);
$obj->Inline($file, \*FILEHANDLE);$obj here means the SendMail object that you create by:
$obj = new SendMail;
$file is the pathname of the attachment file, this attachment file can sit in any directories. Inside the email , only the filename is sent, not with the whole pathname.
$filedata contains the attachment's content. This helps when we are writing CGI scripts, uploaded files can be sent immediately without generate any temporary file in the server.
*FILEHANDLE is added, so that users who're using CGI.pm for file uploading can use this module to send attachment easier.
What's the difference between Attach() and Inline()?
Some of the mail readers can show the attachment, like image, html files, when you read the mail, Inline() supports this feature. And attachments sent by Attach(), just a normal attachment link, we need to click on the attachment to view what the file is.
