in reply to Re: Re: Getmail perl script in thread Getmail perl script
I'm not sure there are any hard and fast rules, but for
both the POP and IMAP sets (which have Net:: and Mail::
modules) I'd use the Mail:: versions for a client and the
Net:: versions for a biffer or other status check. The
Net:: versions are light(er) weight and have the methods
for talking to the server; good candidates for subclassing
if you wanted to do more yourself.
