I'm trying to get qpsmtpd working with pperl and was wondering how to do it.

I tried following the README instructions by commenting out the
softlimit/tcpserver line and replacing it with the pperl line:

  pperl -Tw -- --prefork=$MAXCLIENTS --maxclients=$MAXCLIENTS \
    --no-cleanup ./qpsmtpd 2>&1

However, when I do this the TCPREMOTE* environment variables are no longer
set (b/c tcpserver isn't used) and Qpsmtpd::TcpServer dies with:

  Qpsmtpd::TcpServer must be started by tcpserver

Am I missing something?

My current setup is to edit the qpsmtpd script's shebang line to use pperl
instead of perl as described at:
http://www.pycs.net/lateral/stories/11.html. Then I patch
Qpsmtpd::TcpServer so it can use the socket to populate
$remote_(host|ip|info) and use xinetd as described by the patch set at:
http://www.hjp.at/(en)/projekte/qpsmtpd/tutorial.rxml

It works but it doesn't use the README syntax. What's the recommended way to
use qpsmtpd with pperl?

Thanks,
John
