Hello all, I'm a newbie in PERL and definitely want to learn. I'm playing around with the module Mail::POP3Client, trying to strip mails. One problem i had is that the body of the email contains Tags. Because i needed only the text content i strip away those tags using HTML::TreeBuilder and it left me with this ; 
------=_NextPart_000_007F_01C180F0.5D9AD8A0 Content-Type: text/plain; 
+charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
i wonder how can we know that its the email's body
------=_NextPart_000_007F_01C180F0.5D9AD8A0 Content-Type: text/html; c
+harset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
للل i wonder how can we = know that=20 its the email's body
------=_NextPart_000_007F_01C180F0.5D9AD8A0--

Is there a way to clean away these unnecessary strings and just leave the email text body.

By the way the body should only be "i wonder how can we know that its the email's body"

Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks.
