Hello Perl Monks, I have to write a code, where i have to login to the inbox of a user and from the mail in the inbox, i have to extract the attachment from the mail to a location. I have written the below piece of code. 
my $pop = Net::POP3->new($server); 
    die "\nCouldn't connect to the server.\n\n" unless $pop; 
    my $num_messages = $pop->login($receiveruname,$password);
