Hi all,

I am trying to make a script which reads an email and puts it into a mysql database, it is my first attempt at doing this and I'm a little lost, below is what I have got so far, which I think reads the From email address, but I'm unsure how to get the actual main part of the email? 
while (<STDIN>) {
    push @submission, $_;
}
foreach $line (@submission) {
    push $line, @header;
        if ($line =~ /^$/) {
           last;
    }
}
foreach(@header) {
        if ($_ =~ /from/i) {
            ($from, $email) = split(/:/, $_);
        }        
    }

Any help would be appreciated on how I can read the rest of the email, or any better approaches to doing this

Thank You

John
