In a nutshell, dropping the $ from next unless defined *{$Net::POP3::{$_}}{CODE};

To give next unless defined *{Net::POP3::{$_}}{CODE}; should work.

Though that would still issue a warning, so try:next unless defined *{"Net::POP3::$_"}{CODE};.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
