MIME::Parser

[buggy]

I am using this module to get the body of a mail. When I execute the script below, 2 file are generated one html and one txt file. However both files are randomly named (it seems). I wish to specify the name of the .txt file and html files, (call them NewMsg.txt and NewMsg.html) respectively.

Code below :

$Msg_Path = 'V:/Test/md50000004264.msg';

open(FH, $Msg_Path) or die "Cannot open file $!";
my $FileString = do { local $/; <FH> };
close(FH);

my $parser = new MIME::Parser;
$entity = $parser->parse_data($FileString);

Is there more to that script? I don't see anything that would write any files.

You could also check the documentation for MIME::Parser (http://search.cpan.org/~dskoll/MIME-tools-5.417/lib/MIME/Parser.pm) for more info.

Nope that what I dont understand. I dont see how the file are created and how I can name them.

OK I can now control the output and the files are written out. However when I use this module I get the error below. Any ideas?

Can't locate auto/Mail/Internet/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib
C:/Perl/site/lib .) at C:/Perl/lib/AutoLoader.pm line 146.

The module's package hasn't been properly installed.

Why is it complaining about auto/Mail/Internet/autosplit.ix when I am only using the following packages. I am on windows, where can I get the missing file from. I had a lot of problem with Mail::Internet and I dont use it at all.

use Email::Simple;
use MIME::Parser;
use DBI();

Its not in the ppm.

If it's not in the PPM then installing modules can be tricky. In particular the few that require compiling for your particular system.

You will have to use the CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/~andk/CPAN-1.76/lib/CPAN.pm) module and you will need to have Microsoft Visual C++ installed on your system (this is because VC++ is what ActiveState used to compile their distribution).
