I don't think it's a good idea to write something that works
somewhat similarly to procmail, and calling it Mail::Box::Procmail.
Maybe Mail::Box::Process?
Also, does this operate on a mailbox (very much unlike procmail),
or on incoming messages? If the latter, then ::Box probably doesn't
belong in the name.
