in reply to how to use Net::POP3::SSLWrapper

"Fails", how? What is the error?

Do you need a sub before pop3s? Some spaces between my and $SomeVariableName (several instances)?

HTH,

    the script fail during the prime parcourt of the loop I made ​​some minor changes to the code

    print "connecting to $server..\n";
my $pop = Net::POP3->new($server, Port => 995)
  or die "error: can't connect to $server: $!\n";
print "ok\n";

      Examining the first waarning message and the following output indicates that $last is undef which implies that my $last = $pop->last; failed. The following warnings pertaining to badness inside POP3.pm is pretty much consistent with $pop already being in a bad state.

      What did the code look before you changed it?
