Perl module to interface with Procmailrc files
Scott Wiersdorf (www.perlcode.org) wrote a Perl module to interface with procmailrc files. The name of the module is Mail::Procmailrc (available from CPAN). It comes with a simple CGI (unpolished, insecure, but useful as a proof-of-concept) to allow you to edit procmailrc files from a web interface. You can see an example of the script at:

http://perlcode.org/cgi-bin/procmail.cgi

With little effort, it could be modified to allow multiple recipes, header flag modifications, templatized (separate the HTML from the code itself), etc.

The module (not the CGI) has been used in production environments with thousands of users for almost a year, and Scott says he is comfortable with its stability.

appconfig::cgi

AppConfig::CGI(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       AppConfig::CGI(3pm)

NAME

       AppConfig::CGI - Perl5 module for processing CGI script parameters.

SYNOPSIS

	   use AppConfig::CGI;

	   my $state = AppConfig::State->new(\%cfg);
	   my $cgi   = AppConfig::CGI->new($state);

	   $cgi->parse($cgi_query);
	   $cgi->parse();		# looks for CGI query in environment

OVERVIEW

       AppConfig::CGI is a Perl5 module which implements a CGI interface to AppConfig.	It examines the QUERY_STRING environment variable, or a
       string passed explicitly by parameter, which represents the additional parameters passed to a CGI query.  This is then used to update
       variable values in an AppConfig::State object accordingly.

       AppConfig::CGI is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.

DESCRIPTION

   USING THE AppConfig::CGI MODULE
       To import and use the AppConfig::CGI module the following line should appear in your Perl script:

	   use AppConfig::CGI;

       AppConfig::CGI is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module and create an AppConfig::CGI object through the cgi() method.
       AppConfig::CGI is implemented using object-oriented methods.  A new AppConfig::CGI object is created and initialised using the new()
       method.	This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object.  A reference to an AppConfig::State object should be passed in as the
       first parameter:

	   my $state = AppConfig::State->new();
	   my $cgi   = AppConfig::CGI->new($state);

       This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object.

   PARSING CGI QUERIES
       The "parse()" method is used to parse a CGI query which can be specified explicitly, or is automatically extracted from the "QUERY_STRING"
       CGI environment variable.  This currently limits the module to only supporting the GET method.

       See AppConfig for information about using the AppConfig::CGI module via the cgi() method.
