cgi scripting for Miva

I haven't done any cgi scripting with Rev, but I'm needing to put together
something for a Miva Merchant store that I'm just setting up. Here's the
scenario:

A customers orders products from our Miva store, I get the order as a simple
email. I then forward it along with the attachment of a .pdf file of the
product and a .pdf mailing label to a fulfillment center that prints the
product and the label on demand and sends the order on to the customer.
There will be hundreds of different .pdf files, with new ones being added
from time to time. Storing my .pdfs at the fulfillment center is not an
option.

There are modules that you can add to Miva that will send emails with
attachments to the customer, but none that I'm aware of that will send
attachments to a vendor. I did find a module that will send XML data to a
vendor, but not an attachment without the help of something else.

Being a Revolution "hobbyist" I thought maybe there was a solution there.

Any comments? Am I in over my head?
