I wrote this script (some parts removed) to grab read emails and save pdf's, when attached. The parser also saves a .txt file and .html file (when multi-type email) of the body of the message. This file is saved and named automatically. The files are named similar to: 26952-1.txt, 26952-2.txt. I'd like to know how to capture these file names so I can save them to a database or locate and move them after the pparser has finished. 
use MIME::Parser;
use MIME::Lite;
use Email::Simple;
use POSIX;

$server = new Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL($AuthSrvr);
$server->login($AuthUser,$AuthPass);

my $parser = new MIME::Parser;

my $outputdir="tmpMail/";

my $rsx = POSIX::strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S", localtime);
$parser->output_dir($outputdir);
$parser->output_prefix($rsx);

my ($unseen, $recent, $num_messages) = $server->status($folder);

$num_offset=$num_messages;
$num_offset=2; # test a few
if ($num_offset>$num_messages) {
  $num_offset=$num_messages;
  }
for (my $i = 1; $i <= $num_offset; $i++) {


my $entity = $parser->parse($server->getfh($i));
my $from = $entity->head->get('From');
my $subject = $entity->head->get('Subject');
my $timestamp = $entity->head->get('Date');

my $parts=0;
for my $part ($entity->parts()) {
  if ($part->mime_type eq 'application/octet-stream' || $part->mime_ty
+pe eq 'application/pdf' ) {
    $parts++;
    my $filename = $part->bodyhandle->path;
    if ($filename=~/^(.*)document_/) {
      move ($filename, $outputdir.$rsx.".pdf");
      }
    }
  }


$server->copy($i, 'dump');
$server->delete($i);

}
$server->quit();
