Here are some Mail::POP3Client snippets I have, that may give you a starting point.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Mail::POP3Client;

$pop = new Mail::POP3Client( USER     => "me",
                  PASSWORD => "mypassword",
                  HOST     => "pop3.do.main" );
 for( $i = 1; $i <= $pop->Count(); $i++ ) {
   foreach( $pop->Head( $i ) ) {
     /^(From|Subject):\s+/i && print $_, "\n";
   }
 }
 $pop->Close();


 # OR with SSL ##**<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
 $pop = new Mail::POP3Client( USER     => "me",
                  PASSWORD => "mypassword",
                  HOST     => "pop3.do.main",
                  USESSL   => true,
                );


 # OR
 $pop2 = new Mail::POP3Client( HOST  => "pop3.otherdo.main" );
 $pop2->User( "somebody" );
 $pop2->Pass( "doublesecret" );
 $pop2->Connect() >= 0 || die $pop2->Message();
 $pop2->Close();


 # OR to use your own SSL socket...
 my $socket = IO::Socket::SSL->new( PeerAddr => 'pop.securedo.main',
                                    PeerPort => 993,
                                    Proto    => 'tcp') || die "No sock
+et!";
 my $pop = Mail::POP3Client->new();
 $pop->User('somebody');
 $pop->Pass('doublesecret');
 $pop->Socket($socket);
 $pop->Connect();
