Although Grisoft (AVG) offers a mail server edition which costs real money -
but significantly less than F-Prot - it is also capable of running in a
command line mode. ProxyPlus uses it this way, for example. Many people run
a single-user version of AVG, NOD or Avast with P+. You can even use the
free version of AVG ;-)

AVG is available on both Windows and Linux platforms.

However, it's not a Perl module, it runs natively under the host OS

Is this any help?


Kind regards,

FYI
Earlier this year F-Prot changed their licensing so that running it on an
email server is now cost prohibitive. Those of us who were running it are
now seeking other solutions.
