Mail::Internet, body retrieval

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm having trouble retrieving the the body of e-mail that is sent as STDIN into a little Perl program I have. I can easily get the To: , From: and the Subject, but not the body. What am I missing. Code is below

#!/usr/bin/perl

<>; 
 
use Mail::Internet; 
use DBI; 
 
$msg = Mail::Internet->new([ <> ]); 
 
$from = $msg->get('From'); 
 
$msg->combine('To'); 
 
$to = $msg->get('To'); 

$subject =  $msg->get('Subject'); 

$body =  $msg->('Body');  #doesn't work

Change `$body = $msg->{'Body'};` to `$body = $msg->body();` See Mail::Audit for a working example of how to use `Mail::Internet`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
