"general details", huh?

Are you talking about sending CGI requests via email to a web server?

In that case, the protocol would you should use would be SMTP rather
than POP3.

Or, will you write something that connects to a POP3 mailbox, and reads
off CGI requests?

But, then, where does the output go?

What are you smoking?

He's probably trying to write his own webmail client, unfortunately.

Don't even think about trying to write one.

Have a look at http://www.openwebmail.org/

Or indeed Mail:OP3Client, and the many other modules in the Mail::
namespace on CPAN.
