Module to parse e-mail messages? 2

[TonyGroves]

I need to write a utility which includes parsing an e-mail message into its constituent parts, ending up with the text body and the attachments (all decoded).

I thought CPAN might have such a module, but I can't find anything obvious there. Does anybody know if there is such a module available?

Alternatively, if anybody knows of a Linux script that can do an equivalent job, that would be great.

Thanks a lot.

Solved, I think!

I eventually found MIME:arser, which looks like it should do the job. Sorry for posting in haste!

Hi Tony I'm trying to do the same thing but having real problems!!! Did you complete this successfully? Any chance I could have a look at your code?

Thanks!

Here's my code. It splits a message into individual files in $tempdir.
[tt]
use MIME:arser;
my $parser=new MIME:arser;
`mkdir -p $tempdir`;
$parser->output_dir($tempdir);
writelog"Parsing message";
if(!$parser->parse_data($msg))
{writelog"Couldn't parse message - aborting!";exit __LINE__;}
[/tt]

Thanks Tony! Once I managed to get the Parser module installed properly your piece of code works perfectly!!!

Thankyou!
