You probably want Net::POP3 which is part of libnet.  There is a sample
script (pop3) in the demos/ subdirectory of the distribution archive
available in CPAN that should get you started.

For ActiveState, use PPM to install libnet if it's not already there.

Subject: accessing mail server


I am trying to write a perl program that would periodically access a
mail server and download the mails and put them in a particular directory on
my local machine.
I am using ActiveState perl 5.09 on NT 4.0 server.
