Hello,
I'm trying to generate a daily automated HTML email using Perl and MIME::Lite. I have most of what I want working coming to Outlook 2007 clients although I cannot for the life of me get the date to work since moving from text to HTML. The date should be generated behind the subject. I'm a Perl noob so any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use MIME::Lite;
# SendTo email id
my $email = 'user@place.com';
# Date
my $date = 'date';
# create a new MIME Lite based email
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new
(
Subject => $date,
From => 'group@place.com',
To => $email,
Type => 'text/html',
Data => '<html>
<body lang=EN-US link=blue vlink=purple>
<p><b>-Stuff I am working on:</b></p>
<p><b>-Stuff I want looked over:</b></p>
</body>
</html>'
);
$msg->send;
