Have a look at Mail::Box::Manager. Update: changed link from Mail::Box to Mail::Box::Manager.	[reply]

Have you looked at the documentation for Net::POP3? What questions does it leave open that you need for checking and deleting emails? The SYNOPSIS section even has a complete program that checks for mail and shows how to delete it.	[reply]

It may lack documentation but I'll point you to a script you can use as an example: Kill that Swen worm on your POP3 account!	[reply]

If Net::POP3's docs are inadequate, the POP 3 protocol is simple and the RFC isn't that hard to read. Telnet to port 110 and play around a bit, and you should get the hang of it.	[reply]
