NAME

Mail::POP3::Folder::virtual::jobserve - class that makes Jobserve look like a POP3 mailbox

DESCRIPTION

This class makes Jobserve look like a POP3 mailbox in accordance with the requirements of a POP3 server. It is entirely API-compatible with Mail::POP3::Folder::mbox.

The username is interpreted as a ":"-separated string, also "URL-encoded" such that spaces are encoded as "+" characters. The information contained in the POP3 username is four items:

Job Type

Either P (permanent), C (contract) or * (either).

Posted within (in days)

1-5.

Sort hits by

Either Rank or DateTime, being either the matching score or most recent first.

User-specified query

See Jobserve website, http://www.jobserve.com/, for possibilities.

Only IT jobs are currently searched for. The virtual e-mails will be exactly 1000 octets long, being either padded or truncated (unlikely) to this length.

# each virtual message is 1000 octets and will be padded thus by format function

METHODS

None extra are defined.
