How about just bolt in any one of the following:Shudder ('bolt in').
A decent software designer knows when to re-use or experiment with existing code, even if you plan to rip it out later. qpsmtpd is fairly modular so the term 'bolt in' doesn't bother me at all. After all, the reason most of us use Perl is for rapid development.
I would be very careful about taking anything from CPAN. There seems to be a lot of half-built things there. The quality of the code in qpsmtpd is *much* better than the average on CPAN.
I think that pretty much goes without saying for any software one takes off the Internet. I assume that anybody that's going to take on replacing qmail (which in my opinion was and is one of the best designed AND implemented software) would know that already.
