Mail::MboxParser is a module for working with UNIX-flavoured mailboxes. This document describes version 0.55.

Its purpose is to easily extract messages from a mailbox with simple access to header fields, body and MIME-parts. It is particularly easy to deal with any kind of attached files. See the supplied store_att.pl script for an example.

Prerequisites

---

+ MIME::Tools (probably >= 5.0)
+ MIME::QuotedPrint (don't know which version)

optional

+ Mail::Mbox::MessageParser (highly recommended but not necessary) + URI::Find if you want to use Mail::MboxParser::Mail::Body->extract_urls + Encode (standard module for >= perl5.8.0)

Installation

---

Un'tar xfz' the module and 'cd' into the new directory Mail-MboxParser-$VERSION.

Then install:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Win-users having an 'nmake' installed can also do the above, given the fact they replace 'make' with 'nmake' in the above list.
