Another option (though maybe more effort) is to use Net::IMAP::Simple to connect to your imap server and list out the relevant messages, assuming all you needed was subject line and timestamp.
my $email_date= DateTime::Format::Mail->new->loose;
my $imap= Net::IMAP::Simple->new($host, ...) or die;
$imap->select($mailbox) or die;
@message_ids= $imap->search("(SUBJECT foo)") or die;
for my $msg_id (@message_ids) {
my $header_lines= $imap->top($msg_id) or die;
my $head= MIME::Head->from_file(\join('', @$header_lines));
my $date= $email_date->parse_datetime($head->get("Date"));
my $subject= $head->get("Subject");
printf "%s %s : %s\n", $date->ymd, $date->hms, $subject;
}
There's a bit more work to do if you have UTF-7 subject lines or need to unpack the date timestamp from the Received headers rather than the sender's date header.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
