I copied some code to get POP mail:
my $pop = Net::POP3->new($mail_server) or die "Can't open connection to
$mail_server: $!\n";
defined($pop->login($mail_username, $mail_password)) or die "Can't login to
$mail_server, $mail_username, $mail_password: $!\n";
my $messages = $pop->list() or die "Can't get list of messages from
$mail_server: $!\n";
It works. I iterate the list of messages with this loop:
foreach my $msgnum (keys %$messages) {
}
This works as well. But I don't understand the use of the hash. Why isn't it:
%messages = $pop-list()
and:
foreach my $msgnum (keys %messages) {
}
What does %$messages mean?
Thanks
