Re: SSL Authentication using Net::POP3

I am trying to find a perl module that allows me to retrieve my email
from a server that requires SSL authentication.

How about Mail::POP3Client?

http://search.cpan.org/~sdowd/Mail-POP3Client-2.17/POP3Client.pm

It will need IO::Socket::SSL (which in turn will need Net::SSLeay) for
SSL authentication to work.

use Mail::POP3Client;

$pop = Mail::POP3Client->new(USER => 'TheFakeJon@xxxxxxxxx',
PASSWORD => $passwd,
HOST => 'pop.gmail.com',
USESSL => true,
);
print "You have ", $pop->Count, " messages\n";

I hope this helps,
