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

Hi Monkies,

OK I now understand that an MMS is a 2 stage afair, with an SMS being sent to a device/mobile phone that points to the service provider and the actual MMS to be retrived.
I have the SMS for a sent MMS - Sooooo, how do I parse/use the SMS (a char string with "Orange" as the sender) and get the MMS from the provider?

Is their a library I am missing????

    Probably :) When dealing with protocols, if your API isn't comprehensive, and/or the API is low-level, and/or you don't understand the protocol, and/or don't know how to accomplish a task, and there aren't any experts around to help you, you need to read the RFC detailing the protocol. Then you can tell if your API (library) is incomplete ...
    good luck :)
