It's quite easy if you delegate the heavy lifting to MIME::Parser.
use strict; use diagnostics; use Data::Dumper; use MIME::Parser; my $parser = new MIME::Parser; my $entity = $parser->parse(\*DATA) or die "parse failed\n"; print Dumper $entity->parts(1)->body; __DATA__ From: admin/mfe Subject: zip To: admin/mfe MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: WinNT's Blat ver 1.8.6e http://www.blat.net Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; boundary=BlatBoundary-Yo7hjfnfSSAUIn61G +cd10 --BlatBoundary-Yo7hjfnfSSAUIn61Gcd10 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-description: Mail message body This is a test file. --BlatBoundary-Yo7hjfnfSSAUIn61Gcd10 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary Content-Type: application/msword; name=tryguard.DOC Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="tryguard.DOC" X-MCAFEE-GSD-Att: tryguard.DOC X-NAIMIME-Modified: 1 �ࡱ� binary contents in this area --BlatBoundary-Yo7hjfnfSSAUIn61Gcd10--
