Flail
Flail is a flexible, lightweight, minimalist mailer with a command-line interface. It is unabashedly designed to make Perl hackers happy. Using flail, it's easy to assemble useful bits of mail-related Perl code into a fairly powerful mail reading and filtering environment with or GUIs or other frills.

Recent releases
- 08 Sep 2008 02:10
Changes: This release folds in a few odds and ends: multiple commands on the same line separated by semi-colons, and identities defined via commands instead of just network endpoints (so you can send via e.g. your Gmail account using a tool like msmtp). There are also a couple cleanups and enhancements in the example code that use the new features (like eg/identities.pl).

Changes: Enhancements to the POD and the README, a real Makefile.PL for v0.x, rudimentary SMTP AUTH support, more standard options to built-in commands (like debug and verbose), a more functional "help" command, and general tidying up. This release also includes the beginnings of flail 1.x, which modularizes all of this and repackages flail's functionality with proper Perl modules.
