This is a Perl interface to the Cyrus imclient library, and an administrative library, and a replacement for the "cyradm" shell. The imclient library is used (instead of using existing IMAP modules) because it supports SASL, which appears to be required for administrative connections to Cyrus 1.6.x. To build: [export CYRUS_SRC=/path/to/cyrus-imapd-source-dir] perl Makefile.PL make make test # or see below make install "make test" is supposed to test the imclient (IMAP::Cyrus) and perform very limited testing of Cyrus::IMAP::Admin. Full testing cannot be done because it requires a test account on the IMAP server and the tester to have an admin credential. (Unfortunately, SASL prompts for input via stdout and the test harness eats stdout, so you can only run the tests by hand. Sigh.) For more complete testing, you may run it in interactive mode: perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -MIMAP::Cyrus::Shell \ -e shell [-- --user adminname] [server] cyradm.sh does this (and will be installed as "cyradm"), but it expects IMAP::Cyrus to already be installed. For more information, perldoc is your friend: perldoc Cyrus::IMAP # imclient library perldoc Cyrus::IMAP::Admin # administrative library perldoc Cyrus::IMAP::Shell # cyradm shell man cyradm # the same
