I am using this script but I want the attachments to go to the same directory. I put this in the script with $parser->output_dir("opt/htdocs/webcache/attachments/"); Then I take the attachment names and hyperlink them in the body of the message to go to a loadfile for a database. attachment: file.doc body: https://webpage/webcache/attachments/file.doc the issue is that when MIME::Entity puts the file there it does collision resolution, I need to know how to get the filename it is actually assigning to the file and not the "recommended" filename from the message. Can you help with that?
