Gary,
It looks like using Net::IMAP is much easier for your app, so I hacked
up a quick AUTH=PLAIN patch for it.
So, provided that your imapd advertises AUTH=PLAIN (either by using
'imapd -p 2' or by adding STARTTLS to Net::IMAP), the login command
would look something like:
@authinfo = ($user, $admin, $adminpass);
$response = $imap->authenticate('plain', @authinfo);
Hope this helps,
Ken
