Thanks for the replies. Here is the code I am using. I'm not too familiar with Perl so I really have no idea where I am going wrong. The output I get is just a warning about "main::trigger" only being used once. I've tried using the sample code you've posted and it doesn't work. I try to use the print $pop->Count(); in that sample code and it spits out -1, meaning it's not seeing any email. Any further suggestions? Thanks for the help. 
$continue = "false";
until ($continue = "true") {

    use Mail::POP3Client;
    $pop = new Mail::POP3Client( USER     => "me",
                               PASSWORD => "password",
                               HOST     => "pop.google.com",
                AUTH_MODE => "PASS",
                DEBUG => 1 );

    $MailState = $pop->State;
    if($MailState eq 'AUTHORIZATION') {
        die "\n\nBad user name or password!\n" }
    elsif($MailState eq 'DEAD') {
        die "\n\nMail server unreachable or unavailable!\n" }

    $messages = $pop->Count();
    print $messages;

    if ($messages > 0) {


    # Read mail headers and get useful info

    for ($m = 1; $m<=$pop->Count; $m++) {
    $Headers = $pop->Head($m);

    if($Headers =~ /(\bReturn-Path.*)/g){
        $RTNP = $1}else{ $RTNP = 'Return-Path:'}

    if($Headers =~ /(\bDate.*)/g){
        $Date = $1}else{ $Date = 'Date:'}

    if($Headers =~ /(\bFrom.*)/g){
        $From = $1}else{$From = 'From:'}

    if($Headers =~ /(\bTo.*)/g){
        $To = $1}else{ $To = 'To:'}

    if($Headers =~ /(\bSubject.*)/g){
        $Subj = $1}else{ $Subj = 'Subject:'}
    
    
    # Now Print it
    print "Message: ", $m, "\n", 
        #$Date,"\n",
        #$To,"\n",
         #$From,"\n", 
        #$RTNP, "\n",
        $Subj,"\n\n";

    if ($Subj =~ /\bswift\sburst\alert.*/i) {
        $trigger = $m;
        $continue = "true";
        }
    
    }
    }

    
}

#Look at the body of that email and do whatever with it...

#$Headers = $mail->Head($trigger);
#@_ = split(/\n/, $Headers);
#$Body = $mail->Body($trigger);
#print "\n\nMessage: ", $trigger, "\n\n";
#print $Body;

#$pop->Close();
