When I tried this (with appropriate changes), I ran into immediate 
problems because the encoding isn't specified.  Most mailservers 
won't handle arbitrary binary data very well.  Once I specified the 
encoding, it worked fine.

The second thing you should check, since you ran out of memory, is to 
make sure you're giving MacPerl an adequate memory partition.  The 
size it ships with is not enough for serious module usage.  You 
should make sure you're giving it at least 8 Mb.
