Hi there,

Further to my earlier post I'm trying to make headway with MIME::Parser I've tried to make myself familiar with various examples but to no avail. Even the most basic example yeilds the following error.

readline() on unopened filehandle DATA at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/MIME/WordDecoder.pm line 579.

Example:

#!/usr/bin/perl -W
use strict;
$|++;

use MIME::Parser;
use MIME::Entity;

my $envelope = <STDIN>;

my $parser = MIME::Parser->new;
$parser->output_to_core(1);
$parser->tmp_to_core(1);

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong

Humbly yours
