I have parse a mailbox in order to grab data from each email. Simple enough
right?
So I tried to use the CPAN module Mail::MboxParser (0.17 version because the
new one requires more modules than this one) I installed the prerequisite
MIME::Tools (5 version, not developer) and this went fine. MIME::Tools also
requires IO::Stringy, and Mail::Field, Mail::Header, Mail::Internet. No
problem, installed all of those.
However, the Mail::MboxParser, the one that I really need still says it need
MIME::Tools. The actual module is called MIME::tools. I'm wondering if the
program is so stupid that it doesn't realize this ist he same thing. Or
perhaps it's not the same thing and there's a secret to installing these
modules that I don't know about.
I am using RH Linux 9 straight from the box.

This is a thing I noticed just recently. The thing is: this error
message makes no sense and you can safely ignore it. Why it happens, I
have no idea because
ethan@no-spam perl -MMIME::Tools=5 -e1
ethan@no-spam
so it's all fine. Blame it on MIME::Tools...or ExtUtils::MakeMaker, but
not me. :-)
As for using this old version of MboxParser: the additional obligatory
requirements were MIME::QuotedPrint. Clearly, when you were able to
install MIME::Tools, you can install MIME::QuotedPrint, too.
The current version is 0.39 (released yesterday actually; might not yet
have propagated onto every CPAN mirror). It uses a new optional parser
(Mail::Mbox::MessageParser which has been released by David Coppit
shortly ago) which is _very_ fast. But even if you use 0.38 (which is
definitely less experimental), it should be significantly more
performant than 0.17. Also, 0.38 has shown to be relatively bug-free.
Some small changes to your existing scripts might be necessary though,
since the interface changed in a few spots.
