Cricket,
It sounds to me like everything would be a heck of a lot simpler if you
used an IMAP server. That way it wouldn't matter if Mail 'fetched'
messages or if your perl script did. All the messages would remain on
the server until explicitly deleted.
I am using IMAP. But Mail.app still has to fetch the mail headers and
update the messages. It does so at intervals specified by the user,
regardles of whether this is IMAP or not. So if I decide to do this
every hour, I won't know there are new messages until the Mail fetches
the headers. My notification app will get notified immediately upon
arrival at the mail server. So ideally, I'd like to completely disable
schedules in Mail.app and issue a fetch when I tell it to through my
app. Hope this clarifies the issue.
