Well, that's a bit tricker.  You can get at the raw (un-decoded MIME) body
by opening the file INPUTMSG:

	if (open(IN, "<INPUTMSG")) {
		# Read lines from file-handle IN
		close(IN);
	}

If you want the decoded MIME parts, you have to open all the files in the
./Work directory and read them one-by-one.  In the filter routine,
you can open the entity's body file and read that.  Or, in filter_end, you
have to go through the message structure using the MIME::Tools functions.
It probably means reading a lot of man pages. :-)
