hi, ok - i recently started playing around with this neat MIME::Parser module for autmotcically detaching attachments from my incoming mails, here goes the code (as said in the manual) ... my $parser = new MIME::Parser output_dir => "c:\\temp\\mime",· output_prefix => "part",· output_to_core => 20000;· $MimeFile = new FileHandle($_[0],"r") || die "Unable to readopen $_[0]\n"; binmode($MimeFile);· $DumpFile = new FileHandle("+>c:\\temp\\dump".txt) || die "nix ($!)"; $entity = $parser->read(\*$MimeFile) || warn "Cannot parse ($!)\n";· $entity->dump_skeleton(\*$DumpFile); # for debugging · this works perfectly for say 80% of the incoming files, however for some mails the parser simply aborts the parsing procedure Cannot parse () Can't call method "dump_skeleton" without a package or object reference at mime. pl line 25. the sender is always the same, always uses the same mailer, and the mails are always strucutred the same way (text + 2 or 3 zipfiles coded BASE64)and can be opened properly via the mail client (i looked inside with an editor an cannot see any difference to the ones who are processed OK, also filesizes doesn't matter). did anybody come across something similar before, or - at least - can anybody tell me how to debug the mime::parser actions (tried passing debug => 1 while creating the object but the process is still not verbose)?
