Hi Anadi, You want to take a look at the MIME-tools, specifically MIME::Parser and MIME::Head (look for MIME::Tools on http://search.cpan.org). If that seems too heavy duty for your needs, take a look at the Mail::* modules on the CPAN.
Also look there for ways to access the mail, if you haven't gotten that far yet (Mail::POP3Client, Mail::IMAPClient, etc...). Of course, you are then going to want to muck about with the actual time you get, since it may not be in your timezone :) Cheers, Kevin On Mon, Aug 19, 2002 at 09:34:08PM +0000, A Taylor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said something similar to: > I am trying to get the time and date that some one sends me an email. > can anyone help me or point me in the right direction as how to get these in > perl ??? > > Thanks in advance for your help - its much appreciated > Anadi > > > > You are just a dewdrop, and as you meditate the dewdrop starts slipping from > the petals of the Lotus towards the ocean.
