If I understand this, you want to accept emails that have embedded images, storing them in a directory that your web server can access to let you see the list and viw individual images.
  1. Email can be captured with a ~/.forward file containing '|executable_file', although this is not a well thought of aspect of sendmail, security-wise. Each arriving email goes to stdin of a separate process running executable_file, which can be a script or binary execuatble.
  2. Email is mime encoded, so you need something to take email files and locate the encoded image(s), decode it to binary and write it to a dir. Usually, images are base 64 encoded, but it depends on the email client, might be uucp encoded or raw binary.
  3. You need to devise a naming method.
  4. You need a web server allowing open directory listing or a web service to format the list into a web page where you can review the list and select images to view.

Email::Sender(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Email::Sender(3pm)

NAME
Email::Sender - a library for sending email VERSION
version 0.110005 SYNOPSIS
my $message = Email::MIME->create( ... ); # produce an Email::Abstract compatible message object, # e.g. produced by Email::Simple, Email::MIME, Email::Stuff use Email::Sender::Simple qw(sendmail); use Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP qw(); use Try::Tiny; try { sendmail( $message, { from => $SMTP_ENVELOPE_FROM_ADDRESS, transport => Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP->new({ host => $SMTP_HOSTNAME, port => $SMTP_PORT, }) } ); } catch { warn "sending failed: $_"; }; OVERVIEW
Email::Sender replaces the old and sometimes problematic Email::Send library, which did a decent job at handling very simple email sending tasks, but was not suitable for serious use, for a variety of reasons. Most users will be able to use Email::Sender::Simple to send mail. Users with more specific needs should look at the available Email::Sender::Transport classes. Documentation may be found in Email::Sender::Manual, and new users should start with Email::Sender::Manual::QuickStart. IMPLEMENTING
Email::Sender itelf is a Moose role. Any class that implements Email::Sender is required to provide a method called "send". This method should accept any input that can be understood by Email::Abstract, followed by a hashref containing "to" and "from" arguments to be used as the envelope. The method should return an Email::Sender::Success object on success or throw an Email::Sender::Failure on failure. AUTHOR
