Although it's true you may not know what the file names are until MIME::Parser is done, you do have the option of specifying where to store the attachments beforehand:

use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Parser;

  my $dir = "./mimemail";
  my $parser = new MIME::Parser;
  $parser->output_dir($dir);
  my $entity = $parser->read(\*STDIN) || die "couldn't parse MIME stre
+am";

You should have enough information at this point to change permissions on the directory or the files within it. Then again, maybe I misunderstand your question. The suggestion by davis should work in any case.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
