You can use ~~either MIME::Lite or~~ MIME::Parser to retrieve email attachments. In fact, a program doing just that has already been written and posted to PerlMonks some time ago. Here's the node: MIME Attachment Extractor You may refer at the code for some concrete examples on how to implement the mentioned modules in your particular program in order for you to be able to extract your email attachments. Cheers. UPDATE: thanks Joost, I shouldn't have mentioned MIME::Lite. However, MIME::Parse may still do a perfect job ;-) _____________________ $"=q;grep;;$,=q"grep";for(`find . -name ".saves~"`){s;$/;;;/(.-(\d+) +-.*)$/;$_=&#91"ps -e -o pid \| "," $2 \| "," -v "," "]`@$_`?{print" ++ $1"}:{print"- $1"}&&`rm $1`;print"\n";} [download]	[reply] [d/l]

From the MIME::Lite manpage: `...MIME::Lite is intended as a simple, standalone module for generating (not parsing!) MIME messages...` [download] Use MIME::Tools (which contains MIME::Parser) `-- Joost downtime n.

Take a look at MIME::Tools at cpan.org, it should do pretty much what you want. `-- Joost downtime n. The period during which a system is error-free and immune from user input.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
