It's not that hard, is it?
http://www.google.com/search?q=perl+vpopmail
Second hit.
It's in CPAN. Just do a search for vpopmail in CPAN and you will find it.

Hello Paul, hello all,
Oh my god, that is what I was looking for!
Thank you very much. I thought I couldn´t write it all in one
commandline, like you Paul showed us.
Now I write my perl-script for automation. Thank you ALL.

last time

OK, you have now explained what you want to use instead. Somebody
You can do with with Perl's "system" or "exec" calls, and I'm sure that
PHP has equivalent calls as well. Just call the binary from your script.
Why not use the product as its architected? Sheez!

Hello Paul, hello all,
Paul: The reason why I do NOT want vadduser or any commandline tool is
that I want to write a perl script which automatize user generation.
Cool would would be If one could run:
vadduser $variable_password
or something like this in
Perl or PHP code!

However you can just add the user to the database without needing to attach
to the
shell at all and have vpopmail create the user the first time the user
receives an
email. Makes a lot of sense when your billing system has been modified to do
this
for you.
