Code an application to read POP3 mailboxes with this Perl module

Overview: This document explores some of the specific Perl capabilities developers can use to create a simple POP3 mail application.

With the Net::POP3 CPAN module, Perl application developers can create software that will communicate with a mail server, authenticate a password, and retrieve e-mail. This Perl module exposes a simple and powerful API to POP3 server interaction, providing pre-built methods for server authentication, message listing and retrieval, message deletion, and graceful session closure.Have you developed applications with requirements for pulling information out of a POP3 mailbox? Did you use Perl to perform that function? What other languages or methods would you suggest for this activity?
