need a little help with mailto in perl

want to add code to this to send me the file
it's a backup db this works great but I want to add the code so it sends me the new file every night once it makes it
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mysqldump -u dbuser -pdbuserpassword --opt dbname > /home/youraccount/dbbackup.sql
gzip /home/youraccount/dbbackup.sql
mv /home/youraccount/dbbackup.sql.gz /home/youraccount/dbbackup-`date +%m-%d-%Y`.sql.gz
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------file name is dbbackup.pl---------------------------------------------------
now I thought adding
mailto= name@domain
dbbackup-`date +%m-%d-%Y`.sql.gz
would work but not sure

I'm a newbie at this can someone help please
