How to write a unix script that gets notified with IMAP IDLE from Gmail?

I'm looking for a way to get notified in my unix system for new email. I know gmail supports IMAP IDLE, what is the best way to make use of that feature? Any programming language is fine, as long as it is supported in linux/unix.

I would suggest python and IMAPClient by Menno Smits.

I have not used this, but for Perl the Mail::IMAPClient module seems to support IDLE.
