Mail::Box is your friend !
I'm using it with a lot of success for needs similar to yours.
Here some references:
http://perl.overmeer.net/mailbox/

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=perl-mailbox
I'd like to add an article that Simon Cozens recently posted to 
perl.com.  It's got a nice overview of Perl's email handling modules, 
and what they can do for you.

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 :)
