in reply to Saving PDF files from gmail

Maybe this is a line ending issue (especially if running this on non-Linux/Unix systems).

Try adding ':raw' to the mode in your open call:

open($fh, '>:raw', "$filepath" . "$_->{filename}");

      FYI, adding :raw to the mode in open has the same effect as using binmode
