Hi. I would like to extract attachment from email and save it to disk (it's a popular issue, isn't it?). I've tried to use Mail::POP3Client and MIME::Parser as follows 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Mail::POP3Client;
use MIME::Parser;

my $pop = new Mail::POP3Client(
                 USER     => 'login',
                 PASSWORD => 'password',
                 HOST     => 'server',
             USESSL   => 1
);

my $fh = new IO::Handle();
my $parser = new MIME::Parser;

for (my $i = 1; $i <= $pop->Count(); $i++) {
   open (OUT, ">msg-$i.msg");
   $fh->fdopen( fileno(OUT), "w" );
   $pop->HeadAndBodyToFile( $fh, $i );
   close OUT;
   my $entity = $parser->parse_open("msg-$i.msg");
}

$pop->close();

[download]
and found it doesn't work correctly. At the first glance it works properly but attachment saves corrupted. For example, I send JPEG and after download and parse the mail I can view saved JPEG in standard browsers but picture looks cropped. In my mind MIME::Parser loses some data when parse saved mail... I can't solve this problem for some days and I'm really frustrated :(
