I haven't done much of anything yet. But of course figured out how
fetchmail can do this and send it to my user locally. So that is working.
BUT, if a perl script that is cron'd will use less resources, I'd prefer
that. Plus, I need to learn Perl. It fails when it
use Mail::POP3Client; because I don't have this module, right? SO that's
what I thought I dloaded...I renamed it to POP3Client.pl Was that wrong?
Obviously. Or does my script call a module I still need to go and get?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Mail::POP3Client;
$pop = new Mail::POP3Client( USER => "myusername",
PASSWORD => "mypassword",
HOST => "pop.mail.server.com");
for( $1 = 1; $i <= $pop->Count(); $i++ ) {
foreach( $pop->Head( $i ) ) {
/^(From|Subject);\s+/i && print $_, "\n";
}
}
a. perl path is correct.
b. the requisite stuff like user pass and server are correct...This is
supposed to get headers... looking at it I see the first thing it says is
to use itself, right? then it assigns a new instance to $pop...
The error I get when running perl -cw POP3Client.pl is "Can't locate
Mail/POP3Client.pm in @INC..." Well, once again, I think I see where .pm
is a perl module (I told you I was a beginner...)
Need direction, guidance, counseling, advice, and stern hand-slapping.
