You will want to check out the CPAN's mailtool release
to have a cool interface to the mail tricks for sending
the mail stuff back.
you will want to learn about RegEx to manage the parse
the elements out of the filename
you will want to read
perldoc File::Basename
to learn how to get the 'filename' out of the process
Then you have a bit of process management that you will
need to work out here.
given your basic criterion that user dumps *.zip
files to Z: - how were you planning to poll for
a) user MT has finished that process, hence
it is safe to move the file out of the way
b) how were you planning to handle the 'next year'
problem since you are not carrying a year token...
c) if you were not planning on moving the file out of
the way from Z: - how were you planning to know
new files from old files.
Just a bit of the basic issues that will need to be sorted.
Forgive me for noting them if you already have an Algo in Place.
