Thanks for the suggestions. I'm pretty new to Perl, as you can tell. I
came from Javascript most recently, and (sorry) Visual Basic. I am a linux
user and fan, although I'm writing this from work, where I have to use
Windows. I mainly posted this script to try to help the person who posted
a Net::POP3 question a couple of days ago.

It's a nice script, the only things that could be improved is to write
it more Perlish :-)

Define the variables where you need them.

You could also write a little bit shorter way with
print "Enter the server name:\n";
chomp( my $pop_server = <STDIN> );

Or
$pop->user($popUser) or die "POP3 logon wasn't succesful";

It's also enough to ask for messages :-):
if ($num_messages) { ...

foreach my $x (1 .. $num_messages) {

Or

$pop->quit or die "POP3 logout didn't succeed\n";
