Answer 1

Just a suggestion and a few things I can recommend for this also. Applying this method will allow you to split your text/html parts and attachments to include, so you can send a message with multi attributes if you would like.
use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Lite;
my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
To => 'email#domain2.com',
From => 'email#domain.com',
Subject => 'A message with 2 parts...',
Type => 'multipart/alternative',
);
# Make my text part
my $txt = MIME::Lite->new(
Type => "text/plain",
Data => 'Thank you for your interest in',
);
# Make my html part
my $html = MIME::Lite->new(
Type => 'multipart/related',
);
# Here you can attach what html tags you would like to include.
$html->attach(
Type => 'text/html',
Data => "<b>my html is here</b>",
);
$html->attach(
Type => 'image/gif',
Id => 'tree.gif',
Path => "../images/tree.gif",
);
$msg->attach($txt);
$msg->attach($html);
my $data = $msg->as_string;
Also I seen where you were using die for error handling, no need to do that here.

Answer 2

The error ended up being in that the URI has to be written relative to the script.
So I had to change /images/tree.gif
To
../images/tree.gif
