To avoid further confusion:
Sorry, I mis-used the term "Perl module".
What I meant was: there is a component of this package that is named
MailScanner.pm
It is not a Perl module in a sense that is installed into ${SITE_PERL}
hierarchy and just contains functions to be called by other Perl scripts.
It is the heart of this package.

I absolutely agree, except it doesn't apply here. ;)

Yes, I guess it was a mistake. Give me that pointy hat, please...
