I know this question has been asked before but I still am not understanding how to acomplish this task. I have downloaded the message using Mail::POP3Client. The email comes with text in the body as well as three attachments. The single attachment I want will always be named the same way so it seems this should not be hard to acomplish. I have looked at code to use MIME::Parser and also Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper but I haven't gotten either of these to work. What method do you suggest using and could you give an example? Here is the code I was attempting to use to get the attachment using Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Mail::POP3Client;
use Email::MIME;
use Tie::File;
use Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper;


my $pop_user = "user@server.com";
my $pop_pass = "password";
my $pop_server = "pop.server.com";

$pop = new Mail::POP3Client( USER     => $pop_user,
                               PASSWORD => $pop_pass,
                               HOST     => $pop_server,
                               AUTH_MODE => 'PASS');
$message = $pop->Body(1);
my $parser = Email::MIME->new($message);
my @parts = $parser->parts;
print @parts[1];
$stripper = Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper->new(@parts[1]);
my @attachments = $stripper->attachments;
print @attachments[0];


$pop->Close();
