I use the following (working) script to generate and send an email:

chdir $createPath;
local($filename) = "tempFile.tmp";
open(TFILE,">$filename");
print TFILE "To: $test_email\n";
print TFILE "Subject: Test\n";
print TFILE "From: $regName <$email>\n\n";
print TFILE "Value: $cookieValue\n";
print TFILE "Client: $talValue\n";
close (TFILE);

if ($test_email !~ / /) { `$mailPath $test_email < $filename`; }
unlink("$filename");

How do I send an attachment with this email?

It seems that you can create e-mails with attachments using MIME::Tools.

On my Debian system, there is a program called "mpack" (written by
Robert Leslie) that also claims to do this.

Probably the most popular module for this would be MIME::Lite
