Or in other words, think what the user NEEDS, not what you think of.
Or give him lesser options, makes it easier to fetch available choices.

EDIT:
Other than that, i (as well) have no idea what you talk about automation...
You list a bunch of folders, where is the automation in that?
What does your script do (other than creating folders)?
EDIT2:
Automation requires BRAIN v2.0 at least.
You (should) KNOW what you want to automate.... we cant help if we dont have enough data to evaluate from...

mail::server::imap4::list
Mail::Server::IMAP4::List(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Server::IMAP4::List(3pm)NAME
Mail::Server::IMAP4::List - folder related IMAP4 answers
SYNOPSIS
my $imap = Mail::Server::IMAP4::List->new
( folders => $folders # Mail::Box::Identity
, inbox => $inbox # Mail::Box
, delimiter => '#'
);
my $imap = Mail::Server::IMAP4::List->new(user => $user);
print $imap->list(...); # for LIST command
METHODS
Constructors
Mail::Server::IMAP4::List->new(USER)
Create a (temporary) object to handle the LIST requests for a certain user, based upon a set of folders. The data is kept by
Mail::Box::Identity and Mail::Box::Collection objects, which mean that the folders will not be opened to answer these questions.
-Option--Default
delimeter '/'
folders <from user>
inbox <from user>
user <undef>
delimeter => STRING|CODE
Either the constant delimiter, or a code reference which will get passed a folder name and should return the delimiter string used in
that name. If that folder name is empty, the default delimiter must be reported. See delimiter() for an example.
folders => OBJECT
You need to specify either a set of folders explicitly or via the user. Some Mail::Box::Identity OBJECT is needed.
inbox => BOOLEAN
For now, only used to see whether there is an inbox, so a truth value will do. This may change in the future. By default, the flag
is set if "$user-"inbox> is defined.
user => OBJECT
A Mail::Box::Manage::User OBJECT, representing the user who's folders must get reported.
Attributes
$obj->delimiter([FOLDERNAME])
Returns the delimiter string. The foldername is only required when a CODE reference was specified at initiation.
example: setting-up an IMAP4 delimeter
sub delim($)
{ my $path = shift;
my ($delim, $root)
= $path =~ m/^(#news.)/ ? ('.', $1)
= $path =~ m!^/! ? ('/', '/')
: ('/', '');
wantarray ? ($delim, $root) : $delim;
}
my $list = Mail::Server::IMAP4::List->new(delimiter => &delim, ...);
print $list->delimiter('abc/xyz'); # returns a / (slash) and ''
print $list->delimiter('#news.feed'); # returns a . (dot) and $news.
print $list->delimiter(''); # returns default delimiter
$obj->folders()
Returns the Mail::Box::Identity of the toplevel folder.
$obj->inbox()
Returns the Mail::Box or filename of the INBOX.
$obj->user()
Returns the Mail::Box::Manage::User object, if defined.
IMAP Commands
$obj->list(BASE, PATTERN)
IMAP's LIST command. The request must be partially decoded, the answer will need to be encoded.
example: using IMAP list
my $imap = Mail::Server::IMAP4::List->new(delimiter => &delim, ...);
local $" = ';';
my @lines = $imap->list('', ''); # returns the default delimiter
print ">@{$lines[0]}<"; # >(Noselect);/;<
my @lines = $imap->list('#news',''); # specific delimiter
print ">@{$lines[0]}<"; # >(Noselect);.;<
my @lines = $imap->list('top/x/', '%');
print ">@$_<," foreach @lines; # >();/;/tmp/x/y<,>(Marked);/;/tmp/x/z<
