in reply to file attatchment name

$path is the path to where the MIME parser has parsed out your message on disk, and it does indeed try to parse into "safe" filenames.

To get to the name suggested in the MIME structure, you want:
$part->head->recommended_filename();

See the manpage for MIME::Head

Update: fixed typo, tnx. That will teach me to post before coffee...

    Make that "recommended" 
    ### The recommended name when extracted:
$file_name     = $head->recommended_filename;
