This is perl, not php.
I'm new also but seeing as the list is quiet I'll have a go.

Are you familiar with objects?

A quick search on CPAN pulled up the Mail::Folder module.
This has a get_header method.

From Perl In A Nutshell:
$folder->get_header(msg_num)

Extracts a message header; takes one argument: the message number. Returns
a reference to a Mail::Header object.

You'll need to set up the folder object first:

$folder = new(ftype[, foldername][, options])

Depends on how this be declared, if you saw this like :

use RMD::ForgotPass;

It means that this script is trying to include a package located in
RMD/ForgotPass.pm inside anyone of the lib included directory.

Or, if you see the line exists like this :

$something = RMD::ForgotPass ( $argument );

That mean a module RMD is included and the script is going to
use the sub (function) 'ForgotPass' inside package RMD.

perldoc -f defined
