I started on a venture to parse POP3 email headers and I wrongly assumed
perl would make that task easy...surely someone in the perl community has a
piece of code to make parsing email headers trivial? Apparently not, at

Thank you for your reply. I suppose I should have been a bit more specific.
I have indeed been using Mail::POP3Client. However, it's the dates that I

for those dates as well.

CPAN is your friend.
For example, I tried
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=datetime%3A%3Aformatmode=all,
and
on the fourth page I saw DateTime::Format::Mail, which sounds pretty
much like what you are asking for.
BTW, it seems to be available vie ppm as well.
