MIME::Entity(3pm) writes:
new [SOURCE]
Class method. Create a new, empty MIME entity. Basically, this
uses the Mail::Internet constructor...
If SOURCE is an ARRAYREF, it is assumed to be an array of lines
that will be used to create both the header and an in-core body.
Else, if SOURCE is defined, it is assumed to be a filehandle from
which the header and in-core body is to be read.
However MIME::Entity::new($fh) calls Mail::Internet::new($fh) that
finally calls $self->body($fh) that is unfortunately overridden by
MIME::Entity::body(). What gets crashed due to its argument.
(I assume the same problem with ARRAYREF.)
I suggest to modify manual.
Eryq (the author) says MIME::Parser is a better choice to read
preformatted MIME files anyway.
