in thread Mail::POP3Client basic program

I'd hate to download a CPAN module that had that large of an example embedded in it.

I think we're talking past each other. I'm not expecting to use a single CPAN module that will just "do" everything. What I'm surprised is the lack of a finished Perl script posted somewhere on the Internet that reads emails in a useful manner. Useful being defined as providing the content in a readable format. No, I'm not implying it should cover every possible contingency. (And please don't split hairs on what "readable" means.) I think you some how got it stuck in your head that I was looking for a single module and went off on that tangent. If you know of something similar to your 6,000 line script posted somewhere, I'd be happy to look and learn from it.

      I've been aware of this site for years and have used it as a resource periodically. I hadn't needed to register and post before. Technically, I still didn't since I already "did my own work" as shown in the OP. If anyone is being obnoxious it's you.
