I am about to be given a fairly large amount of emails which have been generated from a web form used by members of the public to input data. I have no control over this part of the system.
Ultimately I need to take information in the body of the email and turn it (probably) into XML data. I can see how to do this bit in Perl but the emails will be in a single folder and all have the same name since that is how the web form has been set up. Are there any Perl modules out there that can handle Outlook files and could cope with multiple files all sharing the same name?
Another part of my company have used similar emails and processed them using VBA in Access but I have no experience with that at all and would prefer to use Perl if possible

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).
