Net::Server::POP3::Skeleton version 1.0 ======================================= This module implements a bare-bones skeleton POP3 server. It is intended as a base class. You should inherit from this class (which, in turn, inherits from Net::Server::Fork|Net::Server::Fork). The only POP3 command implemented by this module is the QUIT command. All others should be implemented by your code as methods. The purpose of this module is for easily creating non-standard POP3 servers in Perl. If you want a normal POP3 server (ie, one that simply serves emails from an MBOX or MailDirs file), you would probably be better off using one of the pre-built, faster C-based servers. If, on the other hand, you want to create a specialized POP3 server that, for instance, generates the content of the messages dynamically based on data from a website, this module is what you want.
