While spfquery refers to Mail::SPF::BlackMagic, this module is not in
the https://metacpan.org/release/Mail-SPF distribution; and a search
for it on the CPAN doesn't return any results either (except for
refrences/links which go nowhere) :/

The quote from the README

  You can easily sub-class Mail::SPF::Server and the
  Mail::SPF::Result class collection in order to extend or modify
  their behavior. The hypothetical Mail::SPF::BlackMagic package was
  once supposed to make use of this.

also doesn't increase the hopes.


So unless someone finds Mail::SPF::BlackMagic somewhere, we won't be
able to package/ship it.
Otherwise it might make sense to patch out the references to
::BlackMagic from the existing code …

Cheers,
gregor
