My system: Perl 5.8.8 on RHEL Linux 5.5.6

Oh wise and wonderful Perl monks who smell like bacon, may I put my sandals at the door and plumb the depths of your bacony wisdom?

I'm wondering if there is a Perl module, or some other freeware for Redhat Linux where, if someone sends a command to an email address, it can send the user back a file depending on the command? Some listservs do this. Example command in the email body:

get filename.txt

will send the file filename.txt back to the user via email. However we would want different subdirectories on the server to serve files to group the various files.

Thank you!
