The latest release of the "MIME-parser" package has been uploaded to the
CPAN under my author id (ERYQ) and name (Eryq).
Current version: 1.13
Major changes: Now tolerates header fields where the ":" is
followed by zero or more characters of linear
whitespace (not tolerating them was a bug).

NAME
MIME-parser - family of MIME:: modules for parsing MIME messages
DESCRIPTION
MIME-parser is a collection of Perl5 MIME:: modules for parsing
and decoding single- or multipart (even nested multipart!) MIME
messages.
SYNOPSIS
You start by creating an instance of MIME::Parser, and setting up
certain parsing parameters: what directory to save extracted files
to, how to name the files, etc.
You then give that instance a readable filehandle on which waits a
MIME message. If all goes well, you will get back a MIME::Entity
object, consisting of a MIME::Head (which holds the MIME header
data) and the name of the file in which the (decoded) body has been
stored.
If the original message was a multipart document, the MIME::Entity
object will have a non-empty list of "parts", each of which is in
turn a MIME::Entity (which might also be a multipart entity, etc,
etc...).
Internally, MIME::Parser asks for instances of MIME::Decoder
whenever it needs to decode an encoded file. MIME::Decoder has
a mapping from supported encodings (e.g., 'base64') to classes
whose instances can decode them. You can add to this mapping
to try out new/experimental encodings. You can also use
MIME::Decoder by itself.
