There are bugs, and it is not done "correctly" I'm sure. If you have any suggestions, bug fixes, hate mail feel free to send it to kastner@gmail.com I hope somone finds this useful. you must have a file ~/.gmailrc. The format is as follows: [gmail] username= password= you should chmod it 700 so it is not readable FUNCTIONS These are the functions in the Module, they may change, but it will be noted here fetchMail() Returns an array of hash refs of all msgs in inbox (read and unread) { from => , subject => , date => , blurb => , new => }; outputMail() Spits out all unread mail from inbox in the format "$from$delim$subject$delim$time$delim$blurb\n"; where $delim is either $ARGV[0] or ";;" countMail() returns the number of unread msgs from inbox setPrefs({ Signature => "Sig", MaxPer => 25 }); sets some preferences DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: LWP Crypt::SSLeay (or any SSL thingie for LWP) ENV HTML::Entities COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE LICENSE... do what you want with it - I don't care.
