My systems admin installed Mail::Box version 1.324; couldn't install Mail::Box version 2.015 which needs Perl 5.6. I ran the two examples in version 1.324. I need some help with using these modules. Which module do I use to extract the body of the message. Can you show me a sample script to print the body of the message. I ran the example script that loops through each message in the mbox to print the headings. I'm new to perl and perl modules. Is this task difficult to accomplish without using a module? If so could you briefly explain it to me so that I can explain it to my boss. Thanks.
