Heres what i'm trying to do login to a pop email box on MS Exchange, grab all the messages loop through them if the message has a attachment, parse it for a certain string and move on. All my searches have lead me to MIME::Parser. The question is how do i use it with Mail::POP3Client. My code is listed below. 

use Mail::POP3Client;
use MIME::Parser;

usage() unless scalar @ARGV == 3;

my $pop = new Mail::POP3Client( HOST        => $ARGV[0],
                                USER        => $ARGV[1],
                                PASSWORD    => $ARGV[2] );

my $tmp_directory = "/tmp";
my $parser = new MIME::Parser;
$parser->output_dir($tmp_directory);
$parser->output_prefix("attachment");
$parser->output_to_core();

my $entity = $parser->read(\*STDIN);


for (my $i = 1; $i <= $pop->Count(); $i++){
  foreach my $line ($pop->Head($i)){
    if($line =~ /^(From):\s+/i){
        print $line, "\n";
    }elsif($line =~ /X-MS-Has-Attach: yes/i){
        print "this email has a attachment\n\n";
    }
  }
}

sub usage {
    print "Usage: $0 <mail_server> <username> <password>\n";
    exit;
}
