I'm assuming you don't want to load the entire mailbox into memory at once, since spam can make even a few days of email pretty large. The following is a line by line interpreter of the format you gave, with test data: 
use strict;
use warnings;

my $c; my $text = <DATA>;
while (<DATA>) {
    if (index($_, 'From') == 0) {
        process($text); $text = $_;
    }
    else { $text .= $_; }
} process($text);

print "\n$c messages total\n";

sub process {
    # Do whatever you do to each message...
    $c++;
    print $_[0], "\n";
}

__DATA__

Rather kloodgey, but it works. Just replace DATA with whatever filestream has the email file.
