Hello jjoerg,

Welcome to the Monastery. Fellow Monk roboticus already answered your question but I wanted to add something small in case that can help you move with your task and possibly get more information on the process. There is a really nice "Tutorial" and sample of code on the Monastery, have you read this Parsing emails with attachments?

From my point of view this all you need to get you going :). If this is not enough why not use another module as well Email::Simple?

Update: Removing wrong recommendation of module. Thanks to fellow Monk parv for noticing.

Hope this helps, BR.
