Hi all!

First of all, i'm a complete perl newbie (for a couple of weeks in this subject...)
So i apologize by advance... :)

When you suscribe to some mailing-lists, you're able, once registred, to give some 'orders' (lol) to a kind of, let's say, bot, which listen in fact to the incoming mails, and process them.
So i wanted to reproduce it with perl 5.6 (red hat 7.0), running an IMAP server... so i decided to download from CPAN, 2 modules (not sure of their exacts names...) IMAP::Client and IMAP::Admin ... My problem is that i can't find within the furnished doc of those modules,
the information that will allow me to manipulate the email-structure (headers, body... and so on)

Can someone provide some information about the functions that could help me to do so (like read_subject(), connect_to_account( account_name)...lol)

Thanx in advance,
PS: i hope that it wasn't too stupid... :)
