perl win32::OLE outlook append the email subject to end of each line of the email body.

john.tm has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

HI I have a script that matches part of an email subject line, then prints the email body to an output file for sorting etc, the emails are then moved to a sub folder. what i would like to do is get the last word of the subject line (which is a name) then append that word to the end of each line of the email body. This is what i have at present, it successfully prints the email subject and Email body to an output file, then moves them to a new folder. but i am stuck on appending $name to the end of each line.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
#use diagnostics;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';
 
my $fileEmail = 'c:\\r-test.txt';
open( my $email_fh, ">", $fileEmail ) or die $!;

my $outlook = Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application')
    or die "Failed Opening Outlook.";
my $namespace    = $outlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");
 my $folder = $namespace->Folders("Inbox");
my $tofolder = $namespace->Folders("Archive");
my $items        = $folder->Items;
     
foreach my $msg ( $items->in ) {
    if ( $msg->{Subject} =~ m/^Test email extract for (.*)/ ) {
 my @name = split(/ /, $msg->{Subject});
    my $name = $1;
    print "$name \n";
            print {$email_fh} $msg->{Body};
        $msg->Move($tofolder );
    }
}

remove this line `my @name = split(/ /, $msg->{Subject});` [download] it spoils $1 that is used a line after; yet to append something to each line of body you need smth like this `print $email_fh $msg->{Body}=~s/^/foobar $name /rgm;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

but i am stuck on appending $name to the end of each line. Where is that in your program, at what line in your program is the appending portion where you're stuck?	[reply]
