IMO, what is useful about qmail is the concisely _documented_ design and
construction. Borrowing that reduces the work but the interfaces are
built on what is available in C and you might find better ways to do
things in perl (or not).
I would be very careful about taking anything from CPAN. There seems to
be a lot of half-built things there. The quality of the code in qpsmtpd
is *much* better than the average on CPAN.
Nonetheless these references look useful.
