You're not showing what you do have, but I recommend reading the MIME::Tools perldocs, and in particular the docs about the parts()/parts_DFS(), body(), body_handle() methods. The MIME::Tools library is a pretty hairy beast. Some code I've recently written to save email messages including attachments to a database: 
for my $p ($m->parts_DFS()) {
    # Skip 'container' parts
    next if $p->effective_type() =~ /^multipart/;
    $sth_insert_bdy->execute($key,
                             $p->stringify_body(),
                             $m->head->multipart_boundary || "",
                             $p->head->mime_type || "",
                             $p->head->mime_encoding        || "",
                             $p->head->recommended_filename || "");
}

The $m variable is a MIME::Entity object with the message and the attachment(s).
