Bug#460181: RFA: libmail-mboxparser-perl



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

It's just a perl module that reads mboxes. How much simpler could you
get? Adopt it! Here's the canned description.

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.

It has no serious bugs, but people looking for a way to programmatically
work through mboxes often install it (and thus report bugs on it). Good
if you want to learn Perl / Perl packaging for Debian.
