Bug#290991: ITP: libmail-mboxparser-perl -- Perl5 module for fast, object-oriented UNIX mailbox reading

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Description     : Perl5 module for fast, object-oriented UNIX mailbox reading

 This Perl module attempts to provide a simplified access to standard
 UNIX-mailboxes (mboxes.) It offers only a subset of methods to get 'straight
 to the point'. More sophisticated things can still be done by invoking any
 method from MIME::Tools on the appropriate return values.
 .
 Mail::MboxParser has not been derived from Mail::Box and thus isn't acquainted
 with it in any way. It, however, incorporates some invaluable hints by the
 author of Mail::Box, Mark Overmeer.

This ITP is in preparation for another ITP, for the 'bugger' BTS
navigation program written in Perl with libgtk2-perl. Stay tuned for
that...

Initial packages are already available at

	http://people.debian.org/~joshk/libmail-mboxparser-perl

This is my first Perl module, so I'm definitely looking for feedback.
