on Jul 09, 2007 at 09:52 UTC ( #625585=perlquestion: print w/ replies, xml )  Need Help??  

weismat has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: 

 
I have tried to use Mail::POP3Client together with Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper to download and ftp attachments from mails via Perl automatically. Based on the documentation this looks rather straight, but I have not managed to get it to work. The main part of my code looks the following way: 

use strict;
use Mail::POP3Client;
use Email::MIME;
use Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper;
my $pop = new Mail::POP3Client( USER     => 'xxx',
             PASSWORD => "xxx",
             HOST     => "pop.googlemail.com",
             USESSL   => 'true',
                 );

print "Status: ". $pop->State()." No of email:". $pop->Count();
if ($pop->Count()) {
 my $mail=$pop->HeadAndBody(1);
 my $parsed = Email::MIME->new($mail);#
 my $stripper = Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper->new($parsed);
 my @attachments = $stripper->attachments;
 print;# used to be able to check @attachments in the debugger
}
$pop->Close();
exit;
