Hi All, someone here kindly helped me with some code a few weeks ago to use when parsing emails to get the subject/from/body of an email .. I have the code, but it seems to be bringing up errors all the time, can anyone see any problems in this code?

use MIME::Parser;
use Mail::Address;

$parser = new MIME::Parser;

eval {
  $MIME_entity = $parser->parse(\*STDIN);
}

if ($@){
          print 'Trouble parsing mail:';
          print $parser->results->msgs();
    }
  $header = $MIME_entity->head();
  $subject = $header->get('Subject'); 

  my $from = $header->get('From'); 
  my @from_addresses = Mail::Address->parse($from);
  my $address;
  if (@from_addresses) {
    $address = $from_addresses[0]->address();
  } else {
    print "No address found in from line!\n";
  }
  $bodyh = $ent->bodyhandle;
}
$parser->filer->purge();

Here is the errors:

syntax error at email.pl line 47, near "){"
syntax error at email.pl line 50, near "}"

Any ideas on what the problem could be?, Thank you so much

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
