Hello, brethren!
This is what i did after your precious advices.
Now my mailman program correctly parses that messy html and extracts the right fields to use 'em in renaming the file itself according to name and date.
You should then check another post o'mine named "Epiphany" that I'll post in the "Meditations" section, as it's related to this script developing process...something i'm pretty silly!
It also checks for already existing filenames and adds a roman number to distinguish between them.
And, *WOW*, it's strict compliant! ;-)

Thanks to everyone, ++ you all!

Here's my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# mailman
#

$\="\n";

use strict;
use HTML::TokeParser;
use Date::Manip;



$ARGV[0] || die "\n\tUsage: rp FILENAME\n\n";
my $p = HTML::TokeParser->new("$ARGV[0]") || die "\nthe file $ARGV[0] 
+doesn't exist.\n\n";
