Hi Im trying to write a program that will strip email attachments off of incoming emails and then place them in a folder, i have this bit done using net::pop3 but i need to move the stripped emails into a folder for safekeeping, i figured the way to do this was by using Mail::Box::pop3. Howeveri cant acctually install the module as it borks in the install:
