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

http://search.cpan.org/~markov/Mail-Box-2.055/lib/Mail/Box.pod
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.

 Subject: Mail App
 
 
 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?
 
 I am new to Perl but I have writen many programs in C, C++. 
 Java, PHP, Pascal, etc.
 
 Thanks,

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.
