I personally believe that once again I have a problem for which (more than) a very simple module (in terms of UI) must be provided, except that I can't find a suitable one, most probably due to a misunderstanding on my part.
Indeed a Mailbox search gives me quite a lot of hits, but to help you to help me I must be more precise about what I want to do. Specifically, I have a series of archived (well, "compressed," more technically) standard *NIX mailboxes and I would like to write a filter that would behave fundamentamentally like this:
bzip2 -qcd saved-messages*.bz2 | ./filter.pl > goodones
Where goodones would still be a *NIX standard mailbox, and filter.pl would select on some headers and the actual message body. I only need a direction on the module to use for this. Any Idea? The modules I found with the previous CPAN search give me the impression of doing "kinda too much" and I'm slightly loss.

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).
