I want to write a script that checks email on a POP3 account with SSL. &nbsp;All the script needs to do is print the number of new emails on the account. &nbsp;I have figured out how to do it for a POP3 account without SSL, but I can not find any information on how to do this with a server that requires SSL. &nbsp;Thanks in advance.

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.
