"IO::Handle: bad open mode" error message

[WhyNine]

I am trying to write some code to send HTML email with attachments from my web server, using Mail::Builder or Email::Send. These rely on other modules that seem to be using in-core files. On my PC the code runs ok (no errors) using perl version 5.8 but the web server is using 5.6. I get the error message "IO::Handle: bad open mode: <: at ../libs/MIME/Body.pm line 525" in the server error log.

Are in-core files a new feature of 5.8 (ie there is no way for me to run this on the web server) or am I missing another module?

MIME::Entity might be a way out
