Welcome to PerlMonks! Consider the use of a module for the processing of e-mail. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of modules take a look at http://www.cpan.org/

Also, take a look around PerlMonks. Upon seeing your question I browsed to Code Catacombs where I noticed that one of the monks neilwatson had posted code which splits email messages into their component parts. His code uses several of the MIME modules.

I'm pretty sure that your use of Super Search would turn up code to facilitate word counts.

I'm far from an accomplished Perl coder, but in the few months I've been here, I've learned that being an expert at exploring PerlMonks, can sometimes substitute for being a Perl expert!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
