Cody Fendant has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm on OSX and I can send mail directly to my user account using simply <username>@<ipaddress> as the address.

This is the kind of classic email you would read using pine or elm or something. "You have new mail from cron in /var/spool/mail/root" -style email.

How would I read mail that using Perl?
