It's the 'get an email to feed' part that confuses me.
assume the simples of pipes
ls -la | myPerlScript
then the following would be a simple implementation of that
### #!/usr/bin/perl -w
### use strict;
###
### while(<STDIN>) {
###
### print "I see: $_";
### }
and would generate
vladimir: 70:] ls -la | /tmp/drieux/silly.pl

that technically works for 'getting the piped' data into
the perl code...
