You might want to check out MIME::Entity and company, specifically, the
build, attach, print, and stringify methods.

For example (from MIME::Entity documentation):

my $msg = MIME::Entity->build(
	From     => 'me@myhost.com',
	To       => 'you@yourhost.com',
	Subject  => "Hello, nurse!",
	Data     => [
		'body text line 1',
		'body text line 2',
		'body text line 3'
	]
);
$msg->attach(
	Path => $my_file_to_attach,
	Type => $my_files_mime_type,
	Encoding => '-SUGGEST'
);
# set up SMTP recipient, sender here
$smtp->datasend($msg->stringify);

# or possibly $msg->print $smtp (I haven't tried this)
