Webmail::vPOP3 is a superclass of Mail::POP3Client in this example which shows the error handling you need as pointed out by BrowserUK ie check $obj->Message for either OK or ERR... 

sub open_pop3_connection {

    my $pop = new Webmail::vPOP3 (
        mailroot          => $USE_MAILROOT,
        pop3_init         => { 
                                USER        => $global{username},
                                PASSWORD    => $global{password},
                                HOST        => $POP_SERVER,
                                AUTH_MODE   => $POP_AUTH_MODE
                             },
        cwd               => $global{cwd},
        default_folders   => { inbox      => $INBOX,
                               drafts     => $DRAFTS,
                               deleted    => $DELETED,
                               sent       => $SENT,
                             },
        delim             => $DELIM,
        debug             => 0,
        folder_icons      => "$IMAGE_LOCATION/folder_icons",
        Lplus             => \&Webmail::Lplus,
        Lminus            => \&Webmail::Lminus,
        Tplus             => \&Webmail::Tplus,
        Tminus            => \&Webmail::Tminus,
        folder_msg_text   => \&Webmail::folder_msg_text,
        file_msg_text     => \&Webmail::file_msg_text,
        );

    unless($pop->Message =~ m/^\+OK/){
        ($pop->Message =~ m/ERR(.*)/) ? 
            show_login("$CONNECTION_FAILED: $1") :
            show_login("$CONNECTION_FAILED:" . $pop->Message);
    }
    # reset the session time after a vaild login
    $global{last_active} = time();
  return $pop;
}
