in reply to Re: Mime::parse file output
in thread Mime::parse file output

thats not what im looking for.. i would like to know what that random directory is for later use,, cause there might be multiple sessions of this script running , so everytime it parses a message it creates /tmp/msg-*something and the parts are saved in there..

    Do you need them to be filed in random subdirectories inside a specified directory (rather than everything directly in the specified directory)? If not, then what I said in the edit still stands.

    output_dir
    Causes messages to be filed directly into the given DIRECTORY. It does this by setting the underlying filer() to a new instance of MIME::Parser::FileInto, and passing the arguments into that class' new() method.
    output_under
    Causes messages to be filed directly into subdirectories of the given BASEDIR, one subdirectory per message. It does this by setting the underlying filer() to a new instance of MIME::Parser::FileUnder, and passing the arguments into that class' new() method.
