Hey guys...as you can see, I'm new here. I've been programming with Perl for about 2 months now so I am still kinda new to it.

I am currently writing a script that will email excel attachments to a number of people. My script will make sure that the file is there, then attach it to an email, and send it out.

However, here is the problem. When somebody tries to open the attachment from the email, it gives the "[filename] cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location." error message. When i send it manual, the file open fines.

Anybody have any ideas as to why it gives this error message?
