I know this is not exactly FreeBSD related, but I'm in need of a monk
that can enlighten me on a sacred incantation to connect perl to an

all running only on FreeBSD systems...
I have googled and searched, and googled some more, and tested, and
then went back to the drawing board and googled yet again... there is
simply no clear answer out there. All the docs are very disjointed
from my reckoning- with no clear direction that explains how you get
from a-b.
I have enabled a connection (I think - based on my tests and logs),
but I cannot get further than that. I have a Mail::Box::Manager
instantiated, and then I have to use Mail::Box::IMAP4 to open a
connection to the server. From there I need to get a list of the
folders available- and thats where I get stymied.
All the docs are pop3 based, or maildir based, or mbox. The imap is
very sketchy... and what is out there says to basically connect, and
then there is a jump to folders and messages with no idea of what is
involved in between. Although I did see one complete example with
pop3, but it won't work for imap.
there's good php support for IMAP, documentation might be better
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-list.php
(easily scripted via cli).
