jeffa's node made me realize I missed a few things.

First, why do a substitution on the body string, it is unnecessary, a match is all you need.

To use that javascript example you'd need to support URL's in the subject. So all in all I'd imagine you'd want to support a single URL in the subject (and use the body for annotation?), or one+ URL in the body (you currently support):

Untested

my $URL = qr/(http:\/\/[^\s]*)/; #Since we use the expression twice it's nice to have it #as a variable. #[TheDamian]'s [cpan://Regexp::Common] would be useful once it #supplies URL matching #Until then you might want to expand this, it doesn't #support port numbers or FTP. for (my $i=1; $i <= $pop->Count(); $i++) # Loop through messages { #Support personal toolbar button for spontaneity linking foreach( $pop->Head($i) ) { #If you wanted to get fancy you could use Head in scalar #context with multi-line regexp and avoid the foreach if( /^Subject:\s+$RE/i ){; push @linkList, $1; print "$1\n"; #fetch body for description here if you want next; } } my $body = $pop->Body($i); #Just a match ma'am while ($body =~ /$RE/) { push @linkList, $1; print "$1\n"; } $pop->Delete($i); } $pop->Close();
