Author E-mail Parsing

I'm have a email in a text file. From this file I would like to get the
sender information, the attached files and the body of the e-mail.

Is there something simple to do this?

Check out the MIME::Parser or Mail::Box modules from CPAN. There are
others probably but these two I have used.

I'll second the nomination for Mail::Box. I'm using it to parse a
collection of emails for processing on the headers and body and it works
like a charm!

Yeah. MIME::Parser from the MIME-tools distribution.
