Inheriting from it is of course the next best thing. I probably should have mentioned that straightaway. People who want pipelining enough who are currently using Net::SMTP will no doubt be happy that only minor changes to their code are necessary.

As a matter of fact, from a cursory inspection it seems it shouldn't take me much effort to clone what you have here and have it inherit from Net::SMTP::TLS instead. I'd like to take a crack at that sometime soon if I have your blessing to do so.

Now that I think about it, having Net::SMTP::Pipelining and Net::SMTP::TLS::Pipelining (or should that be Net::SMTP::Pipelining::TLS?) wouldn't be such a bad idea. It is a great and useful feature, but it's not necessary for everyone. Keeping it out of the API of existing modules might be better in the long run. Now I'm torn.
