Hello all, I'm new here and looking for help of course.

I just made my first perl module (WWW::PostiniAdmin) and it seems to work great. That's the problem, although I can generally find errors and fix them. I can't find any glaringly obvious errors with this and I know they are there. I am not yet experienced enough to write perfect code.

I am hoping to get some feedback on my code, documentation, comments and whatever else you see. I didn't want to post a 750 line perl module (most of it pod and comments, honest!), so I am just including links to it.

I would appreciate any help you are willing to give. I won't even be offended if you tell me that I should scrap the whole thing and pay someone to do it for me. However, I would prefer things that will help me learn to be a better perl programmer.

The module is here:
http://www.rraz.net/PostiniAdmin/PostiniAdmin.pm.txt

The HTML from the pod (with links added to the files) is here:
http://www.rraz.net/PostiniAdmin

and you can get the module and some examples in these archives.
