This being my first experience with Net::POP3 I'm having some difficulty getting into my mail server. I talked with my web host this morning and they confirmed my account username and the mail server are correct.

I don't receive any errors but the only output is "could not connect to email. Below is the entire code, pretty much copied and pasted from the Net::POP3 page on Cpan itself.

Anyone out there have experience with this module see what I'm doing wrong?
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); print header, start_html('test'); my $email_user = 'email@domain.com; my $email_pass = 'pass'; my $email_server = 'mail.domain.com'; use Net::POP3; my $pop = Net::POP3->new($email_server); if ($pop->login($email_user, $email_pass) > 0) { my $msgnums = $pop->list; # hashref of msgnum => size foreach my $msgnum (keys %$msgnums) { my $msg = $pop->get($msgnum); print @$msg; $pop->delete($msgnum); } print "Logged in"; } else { print "Could not connect to email"; } $pop->quit;
