Hi This is a repost of a question someone else asked that was never really answered as they found another solution (included with this post).
Does anyone have a very simple example of using "Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper" and "Mail::POP3Client"together to extract the attachmnet from a pop3 mail???
For love nor money I cant get this to work. I can read in the mails ok, (complete with attachmnets) - but cant get the stripper to work. any help gratefully appriciated. Ta Tufty True

+owing question: 

 
I have tried to use Mail::POP3Client together with Email::MIME::Attach
+ment::Stripper to download and ftp attachments from mails via Perl au
+tomatically. Based on the documentation this looks rather straight, b
+ut I have not managed to get it to work. The main part of my code loo
+ks the following way: 

use strict;
use Mail::POP3Client;
use Email::MIME;
use Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper;
my $pop = new Mail::POP3Client( USER     => 'xxx',
             PASSWORD => "xxx",
             HOST     => "pop.googlemail.com",
             USESSL   => 'true',
                 );

print "Status: ". $pop->State()." No of email:". $pop->Count();
if ($pop->Count()) {
 my $mail=$pop->HeadAndBody(1);
 my $parsed = Email::MIME->new($mail);#
 my $stripper = Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper->new($parsed);
 my @attachments = $stripper->attachments;
 print;# used to be able to check @attachments in the debugger
}
$pop->Close();
exit;

Save a sample message `open OUTFH, '>test.1.txt' or die "Couldn't write test.1.txt: $! "; binmode OUTFH; $pop->HeadAndBodyToFile( OUTFH, 1 ); close OUTFH;` [download] and repost with the sample message	[reply] [d/l]

I had this same problem. Try upgrading your packages. Email-MIME 1.8 seems to be unstable. e.g.: ppm install http://ppm.tcool.org/archives/Email-MIME.ppd Hope this helps. I am still working through my code.	[reply]
