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

My pb is a simple one: I want to retrieve attachement from emails. While the CookBook provided some hints on how to retrieve my mail , I still have no idea on how to process attachements.... Might be a stupid question but I'm in a rush...

    What you're looking for is usually a two step process:
    • retrieve the message in question
    • parse the message for attachments
    There are multiple ways to do both. Here is an example of POP access and MIME::Parser for parsing.
