Have a look at MIME::QuotedPrint and MIME::Base64 modules.
You'll have to process the headers of the message (or the parts of
the message) to see the encoding :
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
or
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
or
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
and then decode the body accordingly.
I believe MIME-tools contain some module that could help you.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain.
I can't find it.
