Assuming you are OK with getting the line contents into a variable:<br />
<br />
$line =~<br />
&nbsp; /^Content\-Type: multipart\/mixed;boundary=<wbr />&quot;(.*)&quot;$/;<br />
$boundary = $1;<br />

</div>


Assuming you are OK with getting the line contents into a variable:

$line =~
  /^Content\-Type: multipart\/mixed;boundary="(.*)"$/;
$boundary = $1;


<div>
can you please explain what that does ?<br />

</div>

<div>
$line =~ <br />
&nbsp; /^Content\-Type: multipart\/mixed;boundary=<wbr />&quot;(.*)&quot;$/; <br />
<br />
$boundary = $1;<br />
<br />
The first line looks for the line &quot;Content... The &quot;(.*)&quot;$ says take everything after the first &quot;&nbsp;until the &quot;&nbsp;at the end of the line and store it in $1 (a reserved variable)<br />
<br />
The next line stores $1 into the $boundary variable.<br />

</div>


$line =~
  /^Content\-Type: multipart\/mixed;boundary="(.*)"$/;

$boundary = $1;

The first line looks for the line "Content... The "(.*)"$ says take everything after the first " until the " at the end of the line and store it in $1 (a reserved variable)

The next line stores $1 into the $boundary variable.

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
