Changes for version 2.00 - 1999-04-29

  • changed to hash-style constructor. See the inline doco. This will be the only supported constructor in later versions.
  • changed underlying socket code to use IO::Socket. Timeout settings on the socket are now supported so you can make sure that POP accesses do not hang.
  • added tests (use POPTESTACCOUNT environment variable to use: '% POPTESTACCOUNT=userid:password:host make test')
  • module passes strict
  • you can construct a Mail::POP3Client object which does not auto-connect (by not passing in a USER and PASSWORD) and then connect manually
