filtering email via perl?

[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

okay. procmail and i are getting a divorce. we just don't
see eye-to-eye any more.

i've seen people post actual perl code here, which somehow
filters their email. is that "mailagent"? (i don't want
to give command-line access to you average script-kiddie,
so mailagent makes me nervous...)

how can i use perl to break emails into various mailfolders?

:
Console GIBBERISH? Suddenly you're seeing Russian or Korean or
box-like text on your console or xterm (or rxvt) -- probably
after viewing a binary file, right? :) Enter "reset" at the
command line, or try embedding a control-O (letter oh) into
your command-line prompt string:
	export PS1='^V^O\u@\h: \w$ '
