Corion is right. Your question is very unclear. I guess asking for a perl module/script to do mail forwarding is the equivalent of asking for a perl module to change a lightbulb. It could be done, but there exist easier ways. In most mail servers that run in a UNIX environment, simply having a file named ".forward" in your home directory would forward any mail to the contents of the file if they were an email address, or to a shell process that you could specify via |. I doubt there's something similar to this in the Win32 environment, but setting up mail forwarding on an Outlook server seems like it should be very trivial. So writing a script seems to be kind of pointless (in my opinion).

But, assuming you really want to forward mail, you'd need to do the following:

• Check to see if your account has gotten mail. You can telnet to the imap/pop port if you don't have the correct perl modules installed to talk.
• Download any mail that you have recieved.
• Scan the mail to make sure it's for you (and to block out anything you might not want forwarded).
• Open up SMTP connection to some server, using the previously fetched email as the body of the message
• Done. Now loop again. Endlessly.

So as you can see, this is alot more work than it's worth. I agree that there's always more than one way to do things, but just because there's a harder way doesn't mean you have to take it.
