So, you want to provide a service by email. Cool! Authentication is an issue, especially as email service is in plain sight. Have you considered a secure web service? With an email based service, you take on a lot of overhead tasks and risk.
You need to verify by successful extraction that it is a properly formatted request including return address and authentication, run the service and return an email with the service name and parameters listed and the results. If results are a table, CSV might be an easy mime type to attach.

email::sender
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.
