I was able to get the zip file out of my response data. Although I'm very happy about that, I'm not sure I have a full understanding of why it wouldn't show when I parsed the data. Thank you Dumper! :) $zipfile in the code below did have my zip file intact...I unzipped and had good data. Time for a coffee break and contemplation!! :) :)

my $parser = MIME::Parser->new();
$parser->output_to_core(1);
my $ref = $parser->parse_data(\$xmltrans);
my $zipfile = $ref->{ME_Parts}[0]{ME_Bodyhandle}{MBS_Data};
