=== README for MailTools MailTools is a set of Perl modules related to mail applications. These modules are very old (partially written before MIME!). If you start to write a new e-mail application, consider to use MailBox instead (http://perl.overmeer.net/mailbox/) It is a little harder to learn, but at least implements all RFCs correctly. You require perl 5.8.1 or later to use this library. When your Perl is older, then use version 1.xx. You install the library by running these commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install There are also some demo scripts (see README.demos) Please report any bugs/suggestions to http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=MailTools
