I've written a perl module which provides maildir delivery to perl
programs. Included are example mail sorting programs meant to be
invoked from .qmail or .qmail-default
I've made the module available at:
<ftp://triceratops.com/pub/software/john/Qmail-Maildir-0.31.tar.gz>
Any and all feedback is appreciated.
I've been using the example sorting programs for about a week now.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This is Qmail::Maildir 0.31
This module is designed to facilitate the usage and design of mail
filtering and sorting tools based upon perl which delivery to maildir,
a mailbox replacement protocol designed by Dan Bernstein.
By default, the constructor (new) and deliver() methods are exported.
Also available is the hardfail method for signalling delivery failure.
It is currently safe to instantiate a single maildir object per running
program using the Qmail::Maildir module.
