Hello all,
I have written first in PHP and then in Java an app to fetch attachments from a remote mailbox.
I am not satisfied with Java's libraries as well as its memory requirements and speedy. Therefore I want to do the same in Perl so that it can run smoothly on my Linux box.
Because of that I would like to ask some advice and where to find documentation about it.
The script needs to: - Read the messages, headers from a mailbox and Download only .zip and .txt from each message if it has one or more attachments. - Delete the message. So, it is kind of a for loop that iterates through the messages lists.
After that I need to uncompress the zip files and process its contents that will be inserted on a Database.
What are the Perl modules to achieve that? Is there any documentation about it?
Let me be the first to introduce you to cpan :) http://search.cpan.org
You may want to look at the many Mail:: modules (Mail::POP3Client comes to mind) and Archive::Zip for the zip files, and DBI for the database part.
HTH :)
