Hi, I'm working on the script that will, connect to IMAP server, and search for all messages, in a particular folder, that matches the given subject and dump it into a file. I'm using MAIL::IMAPClient module for this and it works all fine. Now, my requirement is to search for all the messages whose SUBJECT matches and also the DATE matches. and I do not know how to do it using search method. At present, the code line looks like this: 
my $imap = Mail::IMAPClient->new( 
   Socket   => $socket, 
   User     => $Username, 
   Password => $Password 
  ) 
  or die "new(): $@"; 
 
$imap->select($folder) or die "Could not select: $@"; 
my @uids = $imap->search('SUBJECT', $subject_string) or die "Could not
+ find messages with subject: $@\n";

I tried changing the search method like this, but it does not work: 
my @uids = $imap->search(SUBJECT => "$subject_string", DATE => "Feb 1,
+ 20101") or die "Could not find messages with subject: $@\n";

Is it the correct syntax? I want to search emails with a particular subject after a specific date. Thanks!
